As far as I was aware, the only example of this SFM version (a very early one) 
was at Peter Fellgett's house and I was hoping this and other Ambisonics 
memorabilia would eventually find a place in a museum somewhere. I have 
contacted his family to ask if they still have this array. I certainly never 
saw it dismantled and separate from the perspex collar as it is in the photo, 
so maybe it is a different one. Apart from PBF's family, I cannot think who can 
have it legitimately, unless Calrec had one (if so I never saw it in Hebden 
Bridge).

regds,
Geoffrey
