[quote user="Dillen"] This is not a resto-thread so we mustn't get carried away here. [/quote] Yeah, sorry. We can have this a a general tip on valve sets while we are on the topic.

I was actually cleaning the set while taking the photos, but even before I started it was very, very clean. I hadn't noticed the Present/Precent -typo! Is front-end valve the one in the photos, the ECC85? That sounds familiar, I might even had some (some years ago I got a small lot of valves, most look like NOS, will check again). I am not sure

I hadn't thought of opening the charger/base unit. Looking at the photo I got a wild idea; how about making your own floor stand for the BL7000?! At least four chargers

Another shot.

I received my kit today! Thanks! The material looks great and the instructions included seem simple and clear. Is there any chance of getting the appropriate texts (model name and number) printed to the strips?
