    Whole chunks of my life come under the heading "it seemed like a good idea at the time".

    Very interesting read. Would be interested to know which models Fricker made for Eddie.

    I didn’t know Fricker’s company had folded. Sad in a way.

    I enjoyed the read, thanks Eddie. You must be immensely proud of the DN, a true game-changer and icon.

    Nice PRS17.
    Can we presume that the PRS82 was Kemmner too?

    Yes it was, and the Dreadnought Voyager (and many others).

    A follow-up article about Roland Kemmner would be interesting.

    Thick cases were quite desirable in the early 2000s.*
