Thanks guys, doing what you said i found the item in question (Musical Fidelity A5). The bids went to £463 for this non-working unit (just £90 less than my functioning and cosmetically perfect example cost me). But the winning bidder backed out I guess, maybe got caught up in a bidding war then came to his senses.
On a buy it now for £450, about 300 quid more than I would have risked on it.
