I have a CD4500 with a burned out power supply if anyone wants it. The glass panel also got broken so is no longer there. I've obviously no idea if any other parts are working as I cannot power it up. It is a UK version.
The polished lid & case are OK - the polished lid has a few small marks but nothing at all serious.
