I have pictures of Poweray radios showing the manufacturer as DSL Electronics in Wellington for Odlins Agencies - who were they? Odlins sold them, presumably alongside their Fleetwood offerings from Philips NZ. Were they a cheaper option? A different market altogether (targetting DRECO and their Musicmaker line perhaps?)...
So many questions...
Anyone know anything about the brand or the manufacturer?
Cheers, Steve

I have this unit in for repair and thought I would add some photos of it here for interest. It's a small portable amplifier. Likely used for guitar practice, but could have equally been used for other purposes too. A good friend of mine (who is also an electronics tech and has seen a bit of this gear before) once commented: "It will have been designed and built on a shoestring. That was the recognizable trait of the brand - how many
parts you could exclude while the article remained functional" |
