I've had a Microvitec Cub knocking around at home for many years, since an accident with a badly wired signal cable made it go pop and lose all vertical scanning. I planned to fix it, but I've never felt brave enough to delve inside!
It's in reasonable cosmetic condition, although there's a dent in both the top and the bottom. The room where I've stored it has been on the damp side, and when I tried it fairly recently it just made an alarming whistle before I swiftly pulled the plug.
I'd hate to just throw it out, so if anyone wants it, let me know. I live in Preston, Lancashire. You can come and pick it up or get a courier to take it for you.
Thanks
Broken Cub Monitor for the taking

Hi,
Is this still available?
I can use it for spares if nothing else.
I'm in Manchester so could collect at some point.
Cheers
