Hi Steve
Bad surprise, as they were £20 odd pounds each, maybe I am just being tight!

Well bearing in mind that the one I bought was NOS rather than brand new, on auction rather than buy-it-now and moreover was a good 10 years ago, I don't think £20 a pop is too bad.
I don't know why, I understand inflation happens and that as bits get rarer, the price goes up, but i'm always a little shocked at how much stuff costs! Probably because I still remember what the same bits cost 50 years ago and somewhere in my mind, 50 years and last week are the same time!
By the same token, my first Dolomite, a 75 1850, cost me £15, running and driving fine, with a bit of tax and a short MOT failure! That was around 1989 or 90. We'll never see THOSE days again either!
