And I thought that was you - in with the 99p bid!! It is rather nice, though. I worked out I could fit it in - but I'd have to get rid of the 8 & 35mm (all 3 units slide back and forth horizontally - I worked out a carousel but found Icouldn't get my tum past it!)

If anybody even has the room to store it for possible future use it would be a bargain at 99p - but, I wonder how much it'll go for.

FYI, this is a really early model somewhere around 1970-73. The sprocket layout is very similar to the MS-860 President series. But there are problems with the take-up, wow and flutter, and as I recally a tube amp with output tubes that were discontinued in 1975.

So plan an a little bit of re-work, new amp and ideally a torque motor for take-up like Eiki used on the Ex-6000 machine.
