I met, and spent a few hours, with Robert Holmes a Court in the early 80's, and then I thought he was like 70 years old (well I was in my teens), so was shocked to now read he died so young! I was already collecting then - small scale - and was also surprised to read that he had these stashed away! I was impressed that for all his $ was a very down to earth.
Congratulations, some great machines, and at fairly reasonable prices (sorry, I looked!)

Gives your machines an even better provenance
