The client purchased a few as demo models from various producers after
discussions over potentially buying large quantities of the wining

The company that produced the ones I liked best were a Chinese company
called Shenzhen and the devices were MT102. I haven't got any direct
links off hand but there may be one in one of the manuals I have if
you can't find anything by googling.
