Whoops! - missed that one.Now corrected. It's in amazing condition for its age. All those vintage Deccas I listed are in tip/top shape - they must have come from a much-loved collection.

Thanks for the recent purchase pledges, folks!
LPs have now been dispatched.
In anticipation of the imminent arrival of your funds, I paid in £55 yesterday to the Cancer Research UK shop where I do volunteer work, from the recent LP sales on AOS (includng a couple that I kept for myself).
Many thanks to you all.
