Yes, I just did that after you so kindly linked me to your picture.  I have been
on your picture site often, drooling, but missed the 5 MHz on your Glasgow.

As soon as I first saw this Elite on eBay, I emailed the seller to try and find
out what version it was, not really knowing everything I needed to know.  The
seller indicated that she did have the original box and that there was a date on
it of 1987.

I certainly don't need to have the rarest version of anything, as at this point
all I was wanting was a nice looking wooden computer.  However, as you know, I
*really* can't pass up a bargain and this one is getting up there close to
bargain territory!  :-)

Thanks for all the help,

Dick
