welcome to the site, you may want to pop along to the next meeting of RARE, and see if anyone has such a machine within your price range.

good luck

Hi Rob and welcome.  There's a Garrett Ace 250 on Amazon for £182.95  + £6.00 postage if your interested.

The seller is Spin-a-Disc whoever they are but through Amazon you should be O.K.
