I've just had a request to fix a beat up Ferguson-based HMV recorder. It was a horrible job trying to replace the take-up spool drive band, fiddly bits fell out, and rather than do it all over again I told the owner it wasn't worth it. For some reason he had the idea he could get a lot of money for it if it was working. I suppose it's the valves.
