I hope not... that would put them out of my reachIndeed
Would there be any chance of UK made ?
I've even got the box for my sleeve...
Hopefully you'll be surprised. I think the price will be reasonable , and as always with Quad , great value for moneyNice exercise but the price will most certainly be preposterous.

Doubt it will be reasonable priced.If it’s priced anywhere near the superb Quad Artera range it should be reasonably priced.
I still dream of a re-issue of an A&R Cambridge A60 with a wooden sleeve !There is an awful lot of retromod type products at the moment, new electronics in retro inspired casings:
Nait 50 > Nait2
Quad Platina > 34, FM4, 306
Quad 33/303 > old 33/303
NAD 3020?
Linn LP12
I’m sure there will be more, I quite like them, but it’s nice to see new innovative stuff too.
The screen may just give feedback in place of a lack of numbers / labels on the dials and buttons.Curious about the functionality of the 33. The lack of labels suggests the orange buttons are context-menu driven somehow. The three knobs that should be bass, treble and filter-slope too. Is what was the orange panel a screen? It makes little sense as pictured.
The form/function of the original was so stunningly good they have a very high bar to jump here.
PS I agree there is a lot of very nostalgic stuff around at present. Maybe too much. I suspect a lot is down to so much modern kit, especially the really high-end kit, being so utterly hideous. I’m genuinely stunned by the lack of design or ergonomic understanding from many high-end audio brands. So much looks like the car Homer Simpson designed, but scaled-up to preposterous dimensions and needing fork-lift truck access to get in the listening room. Everything the original Quad 33, or for that matter the MkI Nait or TD-124 were not.
