The auction ended, rather low at under 400 sterling, I thought.

The seller has a website with more info...
http://www.apple-juice.co.uk/lego/index.html
Apparently for a while the website about the machine was being served BY the
machine itself, or so I gathered. Fairly nifty.
The website links to Eric's desk and to Henry's harpsichord too.
BTW I saw a short article on Eric in our local paper today, nothing that we
don't all already know but interesting that he's made the wire services.
