The diaphragm seems to be in lovely shape, but case needs lots of TLC

I'd ask for a close up photo of the diaphragm just in case it's not an original.

Just spotted on Facebook that it's gone to one of the resellers, so it shall be bound for auction again via eBay soon with a decent markup

Dave Smith? Expect it to look exactly as it does now!
The UK auction trade doesn't appear to recognise (or frankly care) that it's missing a trick here. Countless items are being bought via The Saleroom and they quickly flipped for great profit on Ebay. Its senseless.

Sellers would do better to bypass the greedy auction trade and sell direct on eBay, but many are too lazy to do so.
Taking photographs, writing descriptions, dealing with buyers and packing for postage all involve work.
