Lots of Creed 7s were used by amateurs in the 1970s. However it is my 
belief that limited space in most British houses led to most of them 
being scrapped. They do appear on Ebay from time to time and now sell 
for around £60.

I have three Creed 7s and might be persuaded to part with one. I also 
have a Creed 444 and three Creed 6s readers. Again I could be persuaded 
to part with one of the readers. I've not seen an 85 reperf for a long time.

I would dearly like to get my hands on a Creed 54 or a Siemens T100.
