Hi, thanks all for the replies.
Les, according to the article in TekTalk, the 'Serviscope' name had been in production from some time after 1954 until the Telequipment range got a facelift in '58 to make it more attractive to the American market.
Jim, thanks for that link, through it I found a Wireless World of Sept 1957 with report on companies attending the National Radio Show in '57 and on p421/422? Telequipment is listed together with a picture that matches this 'scope exactly. It is simply referred to as 'a new portable calibrated Serviscope' with no model number.
Chris, thanks and I took your advice and posted on the Vintage Radio forum - we'll see if anyone bites!
I guess this all ties up - so far at least - and if my interpretation of the serial number is correct it would be one of the last produced in this style and perhaps the S31 model number got applied to the restyled version?
Thanks for all the help/interest folks.
Adrian

Adrian, I was unaware of the "facelift", certainly never seen anything
looking earlier than a stock S31 or D31.
I used to have a C1 calibrator, but now have a C3.
Les.
Just for fun, I did a search thru the Wireless World collection on "Americanradiohistory.com" for the years 1950-1960.tLotsa pictures in the new equipment blurbs about telequipment ...I've got a D54 that I used for years ...now shelved ...
