I have had the same reaction when picking up sets I have bought. Showing sellers pictures of your collection sometimes makes their reaction worse!

I bought a set from a chap who was a builder, he said he had intended to gut the set and sell the cabinet but couldn't work out how to get the tube and chassis out so he left it. He said that he had "nearly done it with an angle grinder..." I did explain what may have happened to the tube if he had tried that...
I hope this set finds a good home
