Sorry I can't help but just have to say you got a real good bargain!!! Well done :)

Super shot! Could possibly see something like that in one of their brochures. Must have been a wide lens!

pick up some singer oil on ebay. Don't use anything like wd40, and I wouldn't advise 3in1 either. It is best to remove the arms but you will need circlip pliars for this, and a lot of care.

Hi Ziggy, if you hear a loud click** when the arm is expected to lower, then it is just dried lube on the mechanism.

Does anyone here like the Half life series? I am personally waiting for Black Mesa to be released and hopefully this will allow me to work my way through all the half life series beginning to end just in time for Episode 3 :)

The reason I ask is because I was quite surprised when a non working example went for just over £100 on ebay yesterday! This included some minor scratches to the metal keypad too! There were other items by the same seller that went for a surprising amount considering the condition too. Only good deal was the CDX2 IMO which went for about £40

Can I squeeze in here and ask how much these are worth when fully working?
