I was in an antiques shop today and there was a MB old about the size of my 144, but not a 144 probably 1950s. It was priced at $A125. I was having a good look at it and noticed this young fellow in his early 20's eyeing it and looking anxious. I got the impression that he really wanted it. I formed the view that as I had a couple of MBs and other fps of the same and better quality I would not purchase it but seeing the lad recognised quality I would leave it to him. The dealer knows me well and realised what I did and gave him a very good price. So somewhere a youngster is using a NOS MB today, I hope he joins the FPN, and hope he does not leave it in the university refectory.
