One has come up on ebay, Item 4643219335
Has some damage though, see Mark Forsters comments below.
"You may have noticed that there is someone selling an Alexander 7
port on ebay at the moment, watch out!
I "bought" this head recently and to say that it is overdescribed is
the understatement of the centuary. It is in shocking condition and
would require all the following and possibly more.
A full set of rocker pillars (they will NOT repair as stated in the
listing, rocker shaft it is corroded and been blasted with the
rockers on it, vavle guides, springs, top caps and collets, the
rockers are OK but not great, but as they have been blasetd in situ,
the bearing surface that goes on the shaft could be damaged and
finally the "manifold" is absolutely aweful. I had it in my
posession for about 40 minutes before it was on its way back to the
gut who is trying to sell it again. This is despite the fact I am
the only source of spares for these heads!
YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED!"
