If interested,
I have two of these M-cases in a good user condition, 25 euro +
shipping from belgium each,
Leatherette is in very good condition, but the cases are empty, I have
one body platform though,
the satchels turned gooey (how do you write that???)
and I removed them. However, it would not be difficult to remake.
Iwert.
