This guy is Brian Purdy, a long time employee of Bob's. He worked for him at the Carver plant and evidently Bob has taken him under his wing and shown him alot about restoring old tube amplifiers. He has listed several for sale on ebay with Bob's blessing or at least he aknowledged Bob helped him with them.They resembled Bob's current amps the cherry 30 watts.. These are indeed his version of the crm-2's. Whether Bob had a hand in this is not known.
