Thanks for the comments. Yes its a lovely looking machine...but I already have three others so its got to go. My only quandry is - as it is for display purposes only should I remove the valves....which include a PX4 or should I leave them in situ. If I remove them then I feel like I am pilfering from this machine for no good reason and probably consign its fate to never having the opportunity to be fully restored...but on the other hand it may get banged around in transit and they get broken anyway. I really can't decide. Any views on this anyone?
EDIT: Here is the full list of valves in this machine. I have no idea if they are difficult to source (apart from the PX4). They have all been tested and are good: VMS4, MS4, VMS4, MH4, PX4 and U12
I had thought about a compromnise where I glue to the inside of the cabinet a piece of paper stating that it they wish to restore the set then I have the valves for the machine and put my email address on the paper. That way I can make sure the valves are kept safe should they ever be required.
