David,

What colour is the case and the buttons of both the 44 and the FM4? I believe earlier ones have a brown coloured case with yellow buttons, with the FM4 display being green. The later ones have a grey case with grey buttons, and the FM4 display is orange.

Try tuning the FM4 over the full range without an aerial connected and see if there is any self generated interference detectable.

Otherwise Quad gear (of that era) is good stuff in my 'umble opinion - compared to others around then.

Would I pay £500 for mint condition? - possibly for a later 44 and FM4. But as we all know, the price is what the buyer is prepared to pay (esp. on eBay).
