Well, I guess with my other post about wanting a small 2 Track, it would always come to this.

Having passed on plenty on ebay, and always wanting one, I thought I'd put the word out.

I know there are a few models, but right now I'm not fussed and interested whats out there.

Cheers
Mike

unfortunately they have a cult following as "ART" objects

buy the first one you see that takes you fancy at the right price

they dont tend to lie around at cheap or throwaway prices
even at abc auctions when there at lots of 50 of them at time
the same asian guy buys them all at prices that make me shudder in disbelief
and off they go to japan never to be seen or used again
