On a scale of 1-10 what's the condition of this one like?--***  ***Rich Mackin (rich-at-richmackin-co-uk)MSN: richmackin-at-hotmail-dot-com

That particular one is seriously crap, the cylinders are missing - I called him after posting the list, from what he said its all a bit crappy - ts all been (quote) well played with. (unquote)

He now tells me that the mechanical signals were packed in polystyrene, which had leeched plasticisers into the paint with the usual messy results.

I suspect its all in pretty poor condition (not like him at all, he still has the original packing for items he has since thrown away)

Sorry chaps, I assumed all this was in perfect condition, which would be normal for this chap.
