Hi, yes I have heard of them.  

Other than I saw a couple on ebay two years ago which I really wanted to buy  I can't tell you much about them.  Were they made in the 70's?  I believe they were expensive tents.  If you have one then you probably have a really good quality tent, what do you think of it?

The suspense would be killing me by now if I had not put it up. 

Have you got a large garden or somewhere you can go with plenty of space? 

Get all the poles out and study them to see which ones go where, if you find it helps you can use some different coloured electrical tape to mark where the poles connect.  If there are any springs that need replacing you can do this quite easily.  Once you have established what poles go where you can then assemble the frame and break it to its knees, this makes it much easier to unfold the canvas over the frame.  Once the canvas is unfolded and in position you then get inside and raise the tent.  Then go round and peg out, when you have done it once it will be easy.
