Thank you, that has confirmed a couple of very interesting things. First, your early Model 48 came with a Magister on its Scott Bonnar 201 two stroke engine. Our archives showed that the early Model 48s could be bought with SB201 engines, but we did not know for sure that those engines had Magisters. My understanding was that the Magister was added to the 201 engine late in its life and I have hypothesized that it stayed until the end of production of that engine. Now my hypothesis has survived this first test of its validity. The second thing that has been demonstrated is that there was a service replacement for failed Magister units, and you have now given us a picture of one. This is entirely new information for our archives. Can you give us more information on that replacement (the cylindrical unit) please? More pictures, details of its label and any other markings, where it was bought, what it was called, etc?
Do you still have the original Magister unit? If so, could you post pictures of that too please?
