Hello, a quick update.....

Well it is Christmas after all so I’ve gone and done it. Guess I should have asked the question before buying; it’s a 503 J.  You guessed it, can anyone identify the J?

Well in fact I thought I was being clever, and bought a machine from Canada in the hope the voltage was be correct, but no it’s 110v but the reason for going for this one is that it’s pristine condition and has the original sales receipt. The guy tried very hard not to sell it to me, because of the packaging but we came to an understanding.  Ahem.... postage was more than the machine. Stupidly, going to Canada also means it’s outside of the international postage import thing so I might have a bill for import tax, depending upon how the guy describes the transaction.

Wow, that’s very generous of you.

More importantly would the international funding stretch to Marzipan Walnut bites for everyone?

I shall have to see what I can do and buy the machine.

Thanks again

Thank you both.

The 503a seems to be more common. And always seems to be with a case and base box. I like the idea of the 500 but a case would be handy

I managed to hack off an owner of a 503 by asking questions about the condition, but not if all the cams were there, but obviously an important question. So now it’s a gamble if that ones complete

Thanks Arrow! Food for thought.

That seems odd, not that I know a lot about Facebook.

I think it must be sold

Where you naughty then Arrow?

The spare button addition was such a lovely idea
