Vintage LMT Lowther-Murray Transistor Control Unit No.2

This is a preowned, 1950s, Vintage LMT Lowther-Murray Transistor Control Unit No.2 also known as a Lowther Matching Unit no.2- a transistor driven pre-amp. In very good used condition with only a few surface marks. The on/off switch turns with a resounding click.

I've no idea if it is working... It is being sold as a collectible for display only. I can't find another for sale, only mentions of the unit in various late 1950s/ early 1960s HiFi magazines and journal: see attached excerpt with the no.2 control unit advert boxed in red.

Comprising a dark olive green painted metal body with a white plastic on/off turning knob, the unit no.2 has two sockets for input and output and two metal labels with the following information:

Brass Label 1:-

• The Lowther Manufacturing Co., Lowther Hose, St Mark's Road, Bromley Kent.
• Type L-M-T No. 2
• Serial No. 3

Black Metal Label 2:-

• Lowther-Murray Transitor Amplifier
• Patent Applied for No. 32314/56 (in 1956 by Paul G.A.H Voigt)
