Thanks Michael and Clive. I know of Barry and his company is always rated highly for communication and service by overseas buyers on the net. However his prices are a bit higher than other vendors in Japan. Eg someone here in the UK bought a HW from kyoei during a trip to Japan.

Unfortunately he said the people at Kyoei didn't speak any English. I had heard of someone on Cloudynights buying one for even less on amazon Japan though I personally wouldn't take that risk.
