I had one of those, the one with five moving-coil meters, which seemed for more techy than the LED barograph version, and never let it be forgotten that Mike Baldwin also had one in his flat, a man not known for suffering fools gladly (or presumably second-rate tech either!)
The cameras didn't linger on it though, because the large silver volume knob was missing.
