Default Mayfair Portable Reel to Reel

On TV last night there were 2 portable recorders in the film "The Conjuring 2, the Enfield Poltergeist".

One was a Uher, 4000 Report I think, not sure of exact model, the other one was a Mayfair, have not seen or heard of the Mayfair before, does anybody know of it ?

Thinking about it more I am pretty sure that I also saw it many months ago in TV documentary on Harold Pendleton of the Marquee Club.
