Unbelievable price, you hit the jackpot. I've been putting off buying a Valentine because prices here for Valentine are ridiculously inflated. I hope I get lucky one of these days.
Thanks for the comparison of Valentine and Valentine S, that's quite informative.
I will also take a photo - maybe at some point during the weekend - of the inside of both cases to show a significant difference in rubber placement there. Though I'm not 100% certain that any of them still has all the factory-fitted rubbers.
I like your header photo, sort of an abstraction of a variant of the Remington (or Underwood) Noiseless portable. They're attractive from any angle, aren't they? -Will Davis
