Well, it's a bit scratched etc since the former owner gigged quite a lot 
with it. And I can understand why, it must be one of the easiest sets to 
put together. Memory locks on everything. *click, click, twist, done*

Thanks!

Looks like a SDS-8 that's been stretched sideways. Not too far from it 
soundwise either. It's not SDS-V nor MusicAid power, but certainly 
better than expected.

> Where was it built ?

In the UK, but I don't know about the town. It was sold by a shop in 
Poole, Dorset though and inside the unit is the serial 1010. I wonder if 
they started at 1000? I highly doubt they sold that many. Thomas, have 
you found any serial in yours (it's on a sticker inside)?

(I just LOVE when sellers on Ebay upload crappy photos and write two 
sentences or so about their old gold.)  :D
