we had the model like it, was made in 1984, the buttons all in the same places, but the controls where not angled and had a chrome door. I loved it Richard |

Lovely machine, bad condition. I'd say it would be hard work to get up and running. I have the rare 1985 version with my name on it whenever the current owner is ready to give up. James. |

But anything is possible right, I reckon this is rare to find these days and hard to come by...I'll be very keen to know who buys it though. |

OF COURSE ITS RARE! I have only seen one of these in my entire life so please someone save it here. Model X2000 (I think). you could use it as a statue of Henry VIII in your porch. |

Did anyone here buy it? I would just scrap it if I were you or the seller. £50 is just not what it's worth, how about 2 peas eh? |

I did think my suggestion above was abit forward thinking for on here. It's not worth £50, but not sure i'd scrap it, seems abit harsh for something that rare, regardless of its (poor) condition. |

Super Buy! I always get confused between the early discount machines and the later ones. Yep the 18871 Microtronic L.E was a 'Super Buy' machine and the piccies below show how the ebay machine once looked... |

Model 18872 was an almond cabniet version of the 'Super Buy' 18871 and followed the same upgrade processes, being modified to model 18872/2 and 18872/3 at the same time as the 18871. Havent got a piccy of this machine :-( Paul |

Really want one of those 18-Microtronics. The fasica design was very futuristic. Imagine the style of kitchen that would have sat in. James. |
