Well, that's effectively £239 to start the bidding: was there a time when it would have sold for much more, with destroyed tuning scale and loudspeaker cloth, maybe some cracks or bits broken away, maybe a back and maybe not... unless you go to Darlington to see it of course. I can't remember quite what the faults were with a black one I bought, in Darlington as it happens, for £100 or thereabouts in or around 2008, but it didn't look nearly that rough: I had two black A22s and decided to keep the other one, also £100 a few years earlier, which looks pretty good but is missing a chunk of bakelite from the rear of one of its feet.
