I was thinking of bidding on a CC7 because I am missing one corner of the
Styrofoam container. You don't say whether your specimen is complete, but I will
hold off for the present. I see I may have struck lucky after all these near
misses.

OK I will increase the offer on the module AND pouch. From a certain trader who
shall be nameless I obtained a rare Portachess. This one is resplendent in gold
and red. Rare? Oh yes! This one is held together with chewing gum with an
unusual battery arrangement which prevents closure of the lid. It is of course
in full working order.

Do we have a deal or are you going to move the goalposts again?
Mike
