Notes: Task brief referred to this as '1968 ME'; current model is named '1968 MkII' on drawmer.com - treated as the same/current product. Builds on the legacy of the Drawmer 1960. Power 230V/115V 13VA (VA, not watts). GBP-only, no USD price published. Drawmer's '19xx' model numbers denote the vintage decade/era the design pays homage to, not the actual year of introduction; actual year_intro left blank since not explicitly stated on the product page (golden rule: blanks over guesses).
