CLF Research

Don Randall making a personal appeal to music dealers on why they should carry his new line of amplifiers.

Leo Fender serves Doc Kauffman some Planters Peanuts, which everyone knew Leo loved to munch on, and Ronnie Beers is with them.

This is circa 1967 in the original CLF Research building on Elm Street, before moving to Fender Avenue. Ronnie was Leo’s “handyman” at Fender, where he did all sorts of things including building the shop benches. Ronnie came to work for at CLF Research in 1966 to help Leo continue his R&D work for Fender.

I took this picture next to a 1965 Rockwell Delta drill press owned by Leo, bought new from Power Tool & Supply Company in Anaheim. Fender
