Pretty much all Spheres were prototypes - NONE of them worked properly
out of the box (or as a bag of parts), and they ALL had to spend time
with a thick ECO list.
They were crap, plain and simple.
Interestingly, just a couple of days ago, I was informed that the last
of my Sphere stuff has been found, and after ten plus years of hiding,
is getting back in my hands. I should have enough parts to make at
least two "complete" Spheres, plus maybe a third, and then have parts
left over. We shall see. I will likely use them as trade bait, unless
people want to part with their money.
