Indeed a regulator rectifier but not an Amptronics version. How the heck does the advertising get on there?

I happen to browse through some photos taken at Morningstar this weekend (by Richard Adcock) low and behold.... what did I see :wink:

A familiar logo on the headset?

Those headsets and indeed the regulator were built by Tommy Coupe, who resided at Morning Star

Unfortunately he recently passed away and is greatly missed by all those who knew him well
