There was another called Tobor. I wonder how they came up with that name?

Yep, that's the other one designed by the same guy (he was a Japanese guy who moved to America).

I suspect he would only be interested in rare NOS germaniums ... something to make money from.   And the Robot would be doing all the dispatch work  .
