Here is a MkIX up for sale on
Ebay UK with a low starting price. This one looks nice to me.
If you do buy one, don't hesitate to get in touch with me if you need help to put it back in working order.

The auction ends soon and there is another one on ebay.co.uk, for a MK IXA , with a higher starting price, ending in about 6 days.
(Copy and paste the above address and press enter). If you are successful I can put you in touch with a couple of people in the UK who may be prepared to help you get it going. If you want to do it yourself there is an illustrated overhaul manual available.
