If someone is living in the UK, and doesn't mind taking a trip to their nearest HMV, please send me a PM, I need help acquiring something available only there.

Lol. Thanks.
I've got a few vintage bullet mics up for grabs if anyone is willing to make a trade.
Oh, or anyone that has a thorough vintage instrument store near them. Or antique store. I'm looking for a product that was a HUGE hit in the late 60's and early 1970's in the UK.
Let's turn this into a guessing game to see if anyone can figure out what I'm looking for.

I'm confused.
So you don't know if HMV has the item?
And you want people to check their local?
Wouldn't it be quicker to phone all of them? Then request Head-Fiers near the store with it in stock?
EDIT: Holy cow, they have over 200 stores in the UK! You should just tell us what item you're looking for.

No. They are reproducing a vintage item, and HMV has them exclusively.
I would prefer a vintage one, since it is analog, but the allure of the new one makes me want it.

Oh, okay.
I wanted to keep anyone that reads it guessing, but it's probably better to cut to the chase. the Stylophone.
A company has taken to reproducing them, and there's a white version that available exclusively at HMV. There's a black version that I can get on the net from a number of places, but the white version is what I have my eye on.
And of course, I'd prefer an analog version, but the new digital one has synth sounds that were only available on the 350s.
If you don't know what it is, there's a short article HERE, and the historic site HERE. If you're interested in Bowie, odd instruments, or electronic instruments, it's worth checking out.

Nothing on the site, it's supposedly out already according to an article. I can't remember what paper it was in, but HMV got theirs early, before the product was released to general retailers. Couldn't find it on the site either. I don't know in what quantity it'll be available at HMV.
FOUND THE ARTICLE HERE
Would be VERY much appreciated. I would be on this side of the pond, the good ol u, s, of a. Only been to London once. LOVED IT. Went vinyl shopping there. Do you know how nerve racking it is to bring back a few rare vinyls with you on a plane? Hah. Anyway, like I said, nothing on the site, but according to the article above, and a few others, it SHOULD already be out. They could probably tell ya if you call, save you a trip.

What are you after, I go pass a few in central London almost every on my way to/from work.
Edit - just read post #6, you're looking for a Stylophone...
I'll keep an eye out on it for ya, do you have any pictures of what it looks like?
