Maestrovox Reel to Reel Tape Recorders

Maestrovox was a British company best known for its line of tube based electronic organs which were designed and built by Victor Harold Ward at his Electron Works in Uxbridge, Middlesex. The first design model went on sale on May 5, 1952 at the British Industries Fair at Olympia, London, where it was hailed as the “Success of the Year” taking orders in excess of £80,000. It seems that tape recorder manufacture was a one-off sideline with only this one example sited, and the company wound down in 1970.
