Giving him the QL was a very nice thing to do, good for you :)

It was a machine I rescued from Leamington Spa at the beginning of the year. Seeing as I got it for free I passed it on for free to someone who would appreciate it.

Now, CRG (Glen)'s donation of a Tetroid SGC clone, now that was generous. They're gold dust now that Russia is sealed off and Tetroid can't make/sell any more of them.

Yeah I do agree, Glen was very generous with that.

I got my SGC from Tetroid as well via SellMyRetro, and whilst ordering and delivery was simple at the time, and Tetroid was great during the process, I can see it being impossible now. It's a shame.

Don't underplay your generosity though, it was very kind of you.
