Tube array?

Sinclair IC 10 amplifier, The IC was made by Plessey but badged Sinclair. The thing never worked properly if at all, was supposedly rated at ten watts but more like 1 watt in reality. I lost count of the number of times I took it back to the Sinclair office on Newmarket Road Cambridge where they would just chuck it in a bin in front of me and hand me another one. This was around 1969 or 1970.

The same guy who built the ZX81? That thing was awesome. Only reason I didn't buy it was the membrane keyboard. I had just learned how to type (more or less correctly) on my mothers electrical typewriter and it was great fun. So I didn't want to use this mini-keyboard, and got the C64 some time later.
