Good luck David - I always wanted a Casdon Electron when I was a kid, never got one though. I will rectify the situation one day - just not now. Fingers crossed for a successful outcome for you!
How do Seamus - as with Gary, I always understood that anything made by Hoover ending in a stand alone 'E' was a 'leccy board special. Unfortunately, this in no way had an effect on the model number - it was just another model number, with no special apendiges suh as an E.
The colour does look a bit unusual I have to say - perhaps its the bad lighting, but it makes me feel....well....a bit queasy looking at it!
Probably just me.
All the best for your respective weekends.
Cheers
Paul
