But it seems I was lucky.

Both machines were shown as running by the seller, and while not printing due to needing a good service, everything sounds good.
The T100 is very nice, and appears to havespent some of it's life in the Foreign Service, and is complete with FSG.
The Creed 444 is also in very good condition, and looks to have been used on RTTY circuits from Harare.
The bonus of two Siemens test boxes is also very useful!
I am in discussion with the seller regarding some more machines - perhaps there will me more to show soon.
