To hijack the thread, I wonder if there was a connection between Rogers
in Catford who made amps and Rogers in Mitcham, ten miles away, who made
speakers. And CJ Rogers who designed speakers, for that matter. I'd
better start googling it. (Jim Rogers of JR149 fame founded the Mitcham
business.)


IIRC it was the same Rogers who sold amps, etc, from Catford who then
started up Jim Rogers and made the JR149. His old company was bought up via
'Swisstone'. Think this was in 1977 but I'm relying on my unreliable
memory. Had to use a different name as his first company 'owned' that name
for the purposes of making and selling.
