That's wild! The item is in Belgium, the auction currency is in Swiss Francs and it's on Canadian Ebay!

Ahh... it's an EMI. Out of jig, underpowered motor, no screening on the transformer. It's a snip!
-----And at the price of a new Mk VI.... or perhaps (cough, cough) M4000?

Nice woodwork.  It would cost an arm and a leg to make it playable. 
It would make a good trophy case display as is.

The knaves of Streetly did in fact work a miracle on my EMI m400. But for anyone who remembers Monty Python and the Holy Grail, I am now the Black Knight with just a torso...... Come back you bastards and fight..........
What do you mean, I have no arms and legs? come back you cowards.....Come back......!!! Arghhh...!!!!

When Martin and John sort you out, you know you are in a very  "special" 
place.
