  I never collected them but I used to have one in a 1970 VW. They had a
poor reputation (mainly due to the ham-fisted mechanics) but they worked
very well if you took care or them and made sure all the connections were
clean and tight. I had it for 5 years and never had a trouble with it but I
never let a mechanic touch it! I did have the manual for the system and I
probably still have it somewhere.
