I purchased this machine from the Canadian government surplus auction site (Ottawa, Canada) back in 2016. It is in pretty decent shape, only lightly used in a Canadian Armed Forces maintenance shop (although someone did crash the back gearing pretty badly at some point). It is typical British engineering - well made, but overly complicated,
