That's a great help - thanks Justin.
Looks very suitable both in spec and price -- Stewart of Reading have 
one for £75 - yes!
I did find the PDF manual and it isn't entirely clear if the graticule 
is easily removable, but it does appear to NOT be integral to the tube 
itself.
Thanks a bunch!
Tom

Thankfully/surprisingly it still worked when it got here - but the case required some serious panel beating and I had to completely re-mount the tube.
