30 years on, it still looked brand new. Rumoured to be the last such language lab in existence, a source of wonder to Tandberg themselves. Picture taken January 2014 just before the school was handed over for demolition.

I was working as an apprentice there when this was installed. Does not seem that long ago.

Please tell me this wasn't dumped. I have what I had thought to be the last IS6 lab (look for tandberg IS6 on youtube) and would gladly have given this equipment a home!

Does anyone know the fate of this lab? I have a slightly older one, the IS6 (reel to reel), which I saved from the skip years ago and restored (only had room for ten student positions!). I was amazed to learn here that these labs were still in use.

Besides French lessons with Mr Walker more importantly played the first telephone chess match in there in the Times Schools Chess Championship back around 1993. It was very exciting. we thought we would get thrashed. Think it was the first time KGS entered. Can’t remember who we played against but we won! and raised a few eyebrows.
