I don't suppose anyone has a standalone Videocrypt decoder lying around they wish to get rid of? Has to be a standalone one and not one integrated with the receiver.

Possible CJ, will have to check up the loft, I did have two of them, but they probably have been skipped..

I assume you are after the Videocrypt I (UK type( rather than the European type (II). If so I an certain I have a Thomson SVA1 in the loft somewhere that was working when Sky analogue turned off. I think the connecting lead (9 pin D to scart) is with it. As soon as I feel fit enough to get up in the loft will recover it and confirm

If I still have it ...I once modded a VC1 to VC2 ..
I remember this needed a kit ...which wasn't cheap.
One day I'll cruise the loft to see if it is still there..
I also have the schematic sheet somewhere for the VC1
