52-Set versus 19-Set HP Survivors
The last little tidbit from Chris B. was that he has kept a private listing of known 19-Set HP surviving equipment. He keeps this private because a lot of wireless set owners, for some reason, do not like other people to know what they own.
Chris did provide an interesting summary of his data, however.
His records show 33 HP Amplifiers still survive, ranging in serial numbers from C37 to C490. In addition, 30 Vibrator Power Units are still around, ranging in serial numbers from C30 to C485. He has been tracking them from the 1980's and it is interesting the potential production output has yet to reach, or exceed the 500 mark.
As a comparison, Jacques Fortin has been tracking surviving 52-Set equipment and the numbers so far similarly account for a number of sets in the 30's, but the surviving serial number range shows a production run of close to 5,000 sets.
