Meccano wanted!
Does anybody have any 1970's or earlier Meccano gathering dust in the loft or in a cupboard?
My wife bought me an old 1970's set nine for Christmas and I would like to get some more. I'm not going to "collect" it but would like some more parts.
I will pay a reasonable price for any, as long as it is in good condition.

Remember plastic Meccano?
I was all set to build whatever monster machine it was that needed the last set with the worm gear, and they stopped production before I had saved up enough pocket money!
