I suppose this is a success story in a way , I have just taken delivery of lovely green Alba C112 to complete the collection , Thank's Alan (yestertech) all were in good condition apart from the pink one, which had serious cabinet damage,repaired the usual way , and painted the repair with colour matched paint ,yes you can see the difference but hey! it's a pink Alba C112 ;D .Mick.

Excellent Mick!
A great talking point too, I think my favourite is the Blue one.

Are they all in working order?

These are great little sets, such good performers as well, one is never enough! I have a C112 and a later C114 which using a U41 line-up is a little less cramped inside and less delicate. Good fun to run up when the need arises.

Splendid collection, I had a look at the trader sheet, a workman like 4 valver perfect for the UK as there where (are?) powerful stations within reach of most households. What have you done about the cord dropper?
