Ah yes, I’ve seen him on the TV.

However, my £20 case might turn into something rather more costly

I was suggesting asking him for (free) advice on what to do - not to do to preserve it as is, since you did say you had no plan on restoring it. He may ignore you but you don't have much to lose ;)

I love old interesting stuff as well.

I sometimes pick up great old gear from boot sales. No earthly use to me but just lovely to own.

Well, that was some read!

What you did there was amazing. Unfortunately, something of that calibre is beyond me!
