I've got three sets of the TOP models SCRC packs from back in the day, c.1992-93. They still work after I cycled them many times, although lack any punch whatsoever.
I recently binned about 12-14 packs of TOP models SCE and SCRs as they had mostly leaked or corroded.

Brian Stacey used to buy in all the cells, cycle them and match them up into packs in his garage shop near Mold, North Wales. His packs were excellent, some of the best available at the time. The pink matching stickers will be on your cells, they are under the TOP pink/white/silver sticker. When you remove that, you rip the paper matching labels. Earlier packs used to be visible if you removed the black heatshrink.

TOP Models is still going strong, but Brian sold the business early 1990's, certainly after 1993, when I stopped racing at 17.
