Indeed it does! I have that exact same Golden Trophy (Tradition) machine from 1981. My fancase is stamped with serial number 38. What is the number on yours?

Hi Carl. Sorry for not replying sooner.

The number is 123

Hope this helps..

Thanks for the info, James. I'm guessing then at least 150-200 were given away as awards. Nice to know one now resides on the other side of the pond. When you say it needs a bit of work, do you mean on the gold plating? Yours almost looks silver. The plating on mine has oxidized somewhat in the last 28 years. Somebody awhile back told me they used brass plating on the aluminum. I'm almost afraid to do anything.
