early transistor amplifiers.

Is the smiley missing?

No, actually I think he did the stereo 30 and the stereo 70?

Actually IIRC 'Leak's' first transistor amp was a design essentially
nicked
from someone else. I have one in a cupboard, and it looks like poor
design
and construction to me. Only have it because someone gave it to me
along
with a Troughline tuner.

If I remember correctly - but I may be wrong - the Stereo 30 was
designed by Cliff Collinson who also designed a number of Wharfedale
speakers for Gilbert Briggs (after he bought Leak) and subsequently
designed the Quad 33/303 for Peter Walker. He left and set up Castle
Acoustics with his son.

But that is from what I remember of a lecture CC gave to our radio
club nearly twenty years ago, so I could be worng.
