+1 more for the Farberware Superfast. I sorta collect those with the gold badge, I give them to friends as wedding gifts, housewarming gifts, etc. I have used one every day for years and years. Every bit as bold as a brew from the French Press, but 75% less sediment in your cup.
The originals, made in Brooklyn, the best ones are the early ones, look for
Gold Badge, 2 line address on bottom that reads:
S.W. FARBER, INC.
NEW YORK, N.Y.
These tend to have the longer brew times, and my favorites are the "knockers" some knock harder than others when they brew.
Farberware was sold numerous times, other gold badge units have 3 line addresses on the bottom, stating they are a division of LCA made in Bronx NY or Kidde corp. made in Yonkers, NY. These were later units, the components had started their decline in quality, made cheaper, and the pots aren't as consistent as the early models.
I don't even bother with the black/red badge units, or any of the gold badge units with 3 line address. You can still find pristine examples of the gold badge, 2 line address percolators on auction for less than $50 most times.
EDIT: Here is a link to one exactly as I describe, cheap and Gold badge, 2 line address, they don't get any better than this:

In the years I have used them, I have probably gone through 15 or more of the small model 134 4 cup models, one quit working, and another time the power cord gave it up and these are the only two failures out of probably 30 or more vintage gold badge units that I have owned and used at some point. The rest of them are still brewing the best coffee after what 60+ years? This is the kind of quality that won WWII, that gave us the 1950s Chevrolet classics, made good back then.
Cleaning these is a piece of cake if you use a lye bath. Mix up 1/4 lb of Roebic (100% lye crystals) drain cleaner (Lowe's) with 1gal water, soak the internal parts in this lye solution, fill the body of the pot with the lye solution and let it sit for a couple of days. Your internals will come out looking like BRAND NEW! The lye will clean all the nooks and crannies where coffee oils hide and turn dark. The lye will clean places conventional soaking and scrubbing can't reach. Just DO NOT immerse the bottom of the pot in water or any cleaning solution.
