On getting it home and opening it up, I was not particularly impressed with the circuit as it seemed to be mainly switches with the odd resistor and capacitor thrown in. It had no valves either. I made a half-hearted attempt to restore it, but lost interest, feeling that its performance would not really be up to much. It lay around in the shed for ages, and when I casually mentioned it when visiting Christie's auction house in London, they suggested it was very valuable. When I got home, I stuck four valves in it, packed it up and sent it to them. It sold for £2,400!

Bet you had a rather large smile on your face. So it's now time for us all to do some deep searching in our respective lofts
