Hi Steve,
CPC was at home when I got back last night :)
Happy to say it`s in great shape and fully works(except reset on tape counter of course). So too does the modulator :)
The system now has a permanent, loving place which I cleared in my retro museum (Moved one of my miggies).
Well, Must dash! work to do and all that and thankyou very much indeed for this fantastic computer,
Roger.
