I was watching this auction with interest.....not as a buyer, but because I think I may have one of the same!?.....unless of course they made another model that looked exactly the same?

Mine was to be thrown out at work, so I retrieved it, its not in as good condition as the one just sold, but its certainly usable......sadly its lost the nice Smplex logo on the band clamp.

So the question is to the likes of Robert etc is .......was there another simular type, or have I indeed got a LJ23? [can't supply a photo at present as camera bust!]
