Neil,
Am i reading this correct, You are NOW willing to part with your beloved BIRD collection. When i was there you held on to it like it was your first born and not willing to sell a meter. I do belive i even offered good money and you still declined. Now i am to belive that it must have been a personal thing.
Mike
