I am still fairly new, theres a Mamod Bible?
Cool, is that the title?
I am entering the Mamod fold I guess, I like my Jensens the best, but I own more Mamods, two SR1a, one OW1, and very soon a SE1a ( I won the auction for $27, I think thats a decent price )

We've sought of given it a nickname "the bible" 
It's a damn good book. Getting a copy is the hardest part though  they sometimed fetch silly prices on ebay and the world does need more copies!

Alas not the same family, the ompany has passed through numerous companies in the last 25 years, some of which were what could be politely called
"less than interest in the ongoing future of the company"

Yeah.... I think every company goes through a sticky patch. Don't forget though, when Mamod were running in the 60's there were no real English competition. Now they have competition from everyone
