    Probably. I don't know how he'd know that though. There were three of us who assembled them so without seeing the writing on the box I couldn't say if it was one of mine or not but, being one of the first batch of 100, it probably is.

    Looks like it's had a bit of bodgery, and I find it hard to believe that Johnny was responsible! The on-off switch is a non-original item that must have needed some surgery to fit, the feet are a bit odd and the arm mounting and wiring look decidedly hit and miss (what's with that p-clip srewed on the back?) but basically it looks pretty sound. Given an afternoon's fettling it'd be as good as new.

    Not at all sure about that red mat....

    I think your right Shane, The paint job looks quite ruff as if it's been painted with a brush! No way has this been fully re built by Audio Origami.

    As you said a few hard days graft you could have this looking beautiful again. I'll keep my eye on it

    I just posted a question on Ebay asking how he knew it was one of mine. Wonder if I'll get a reply?

    Should I take that personally, do you think?
