My current item still works but has a crack, it is no longer made and the current model costs £100 and is slightly bigger so alterations would need to be made. I once found a brand new one online in Holland right at the start of Brexit for £60 and the seller refused to send it here and refunded the money instead.
Now it may turn out to be turnip but for the cost of a pint of beer I took the gamble. Oh, I also brought a length of rope for a £1.
Sometimes it pays to look scruffy when buying.
