I picked up a used FRG 7700 from the place you mentioned for under £100 including postage last year. It works well, seems pretty sensitive with just a simple wet string aerial and there is plenty of info on the web if/when it goes wrong.
Mine has a some front panel damage but nothing that stops it working - switch shafts broken off but still working, was hoping to get around to replacing them but struggled to find replacements in the right size. Must try harder!
