Just to let people know I've put up a new webpage at
http://www.audiomisc.co.uk/Armstrong...iliconEra.html
This documents the 1973-4 period when they released the 600 range and it
got a lot of attention. Can be interesting to compare reviews to see when
they agree and when they conflict. :-)
FWIW I'm planning two more pages.
One to deal with the 1975-1985 period which covers the dissapearance of
Armstrong as a manufacturer. This is actually quite a complex set of events
so needs a lot of details. Also covers more reviews of the 600 and those of
the 700 amps, what happened with the tuner, etc. In some ways its also a
history of what went wrong in UK manufacturing and how equipment was
reviewed and sold by retailers, etc. Some skeletons will be dug up, and
oddities in 'reviews' examined. 8-]
The other page is to document more extensively the 'radio chassis era' from
1932 to about 1960. During this period Armstrong made a lot of different
models, some without their name or logo on the front! I'm still working
though old references, magazines, etc, to sort this out!
However I'm also doing some work to try and build a decent website for the
Museum of Communication, so it will take a while to do the above pages.
Cheers,
Jim
