My original one was in such terrible condition, with schoolboy scribbles on nearly every page, that it would have actually devalued the machine rather than adding to the value if I ever intended to sell it. I eventually pounced on a nice clean one which came up on its own for £7 and that is the one I will pass on with the machine if I ever sell it (unlikely) or give it to a museum.

Anyway... Back to NIBL.
