I think plenty got sold. I still have 2v 10 remotes, receiver and torch, they work like my wife's mood, perfect for a week or two then nothing for months. Such innovation. In these at the time, the locking collars to bank sticks. Remote torch, changeable covers etc.
I may have to dig mine out and see if they fancy playing for a day session, what I will say is the non removes v8s I think did what they were supposed to do and it was the remote problems that seemed to kill them.

Going back to my youth but Bayer Perlon mono was pretty pants .. kinked and curled as soon as you looked at it. Shakespeare Wondermatch rod. Avail in 1 length only. 11ft iirc ..black & white handle with an awful fixed position snap loc reel seat. Efgeeco seat boxes.... made of ply wood & covered in vinyl. They got damp, warped and were unusable!

Daiwa sensitrons were shocking.Build quality was the level of a Christmas cracker. Didn't work in the rain and would indicate a run at 3am when there wasn't one. Typically, all the magazines hailed them as the second coming.
