The Filben record
mechanism was designed and patented by William M. Filben in
1937, but was not used until the Challenge 47 in 1946 and Filben
Maestro manufactured in April 1948. The Maestro sold for US$595.
It is said that only 950 of this fine model were ever made, and
only about 40 are thought to have survived. Right now it seems
that 1100 models had been produced and at least 55 survived. |
