Swapping offer regards :lol:

Wait for the next One Alain
it has defective reeds,non original pieces(they look like Mephisto Exclusive pieces to me)and the board has been defaced with Rank and File lettering... probably painted on

A Real Mess Regards

I am missing a lot in the higher and rare categories, so not easy to make a wish list of just five. Like Dave I am just hoping for a bargon price somewhere, sometime.

But last week I thought I was dreaming: I got a full functional Renaissance with two modules (Sparc 1MB and Brute Force) for free!?! Think I am still dreaming...

So I will keep my wish list at a modest size:
- Novag Super Constellation
- Excalibur Phantom Force
