    After seeing Autoreverser's thread on TPS-L2 clones, I thought I'd post some of mine up. I don't have anywhere near as may as he does (very impressive collection!) but there are a couple here that he doesn't have (yet!)

    I've added the Kasuga one on the end as I consider that a Clone as it has the Talk Line, however it is the only one here that has a radio. It does work but makes some nasty noises when playing so I think it needs re-capping.

    Very curious. It's surprising the amount of clones that appeared then.

    It's almost as if there were 2 or 3 factories making these clones for whatever brand wanted one!

    I like that Stereo Starwalker with the box photos of people dressed as if they have come from the set of Mork and Mindy.

    GEC was a huge British company similar to but not related to the US General Electric, making everything from Cookers to Railway Locomotives.
    When the long standing Chief Executive in retired in 1996 his replacement decided to sell off most of the slow and steady parts of the company and concentrate on Internet Equipment, buying up loads of Tech companies just in time for the dot.com crash. Where I work was once owned by them (after Philips sold it).

    All late 70s and 1980s GEC audio equipment had names starting Star. There is actually a GEC boombox but I would expect it is an AKA made by someone else.
