I am pleased with this one, I didn't think I would ever acquire one.

Thanks Andy, It was on ebay, from a fairly well known dealer. His pictures did it no justice, I took a risk and I am glad I did. I don't know how much they usually sell for, but I was happy with the price, too.

Thank you Gentlemen, your approval is much appreciated. Thank you Dan, for righting the image. For some reason images always get rotated 90° that I upload with my phone.

I've hunted around online and an ex forum member/dealer sold one of these, with replaced slider, for over two hundred pounds.

I think it is simply deception and theft.
