    Ya, but the ceedees and old turntable would be, for me, the second and third prizes - it would be all that lurvely vintage classical vinyl, if it had been genuinely near-mint, that would've been the numero uno prize!

    I'd have been well fooked off, having shelled out over a grand of the 'loose change' in my current account (), to have been left with 700 'plastic frisbees', some grubby LPs, and a goodness-knows-in-what-kind-of-working-condition Lenco, as my 'reward'....!

    You forget Marco that the lady selling all of that gear is called "Bettina" and is obviously from the upper classes of our society; I would therefore suggest that she is trustworthy beyond reproach ...

    Sorry to butt in.........

    This seems a little optimistic, to say the least!

    I'd value it at £5 to £10 myself.
