Beauty in the eye of the beholder I think for this one :D .

Its certainly unusual and from comments around it on other sites was only made for 1yr in the late 70's and was pulled by Radio Shack because it drifted badly, allegedly.

Some love for it as well though, so for sure Marmite...

If it was competing with the TRC-449 what chance did it really have....
