Hi
Michael, I would ask you please to post some photos of the twin rail 14" machine, that would be good for the archives.
I think that my further research is correct, and that is, late 1975, early 1976 heralded the demise of the this favourite little machine.

This also was the time that the Scott Bonnar company introduced the controversial SB 430 and 590 Diplomat rear catcher models to much pomp and ceremony, but did not live up to their earlier designs. Sid Bowditch must have turned in his grave.....
