I'm told the rear roller has a planetary center to make it easier to manoeuvre around the lawn.
The Supercut did use a differential - as all quality reel mowers should.
It wasn't planetary though - just the pawl arrangement in two sets.

That's a great comment on what machines are worth Paul.
My observation is that there is no direct connection between rarity,
labour spent, and what the machine is 'worth'.

The vagaries of the market are best summed up by John Maynard Keynes'
coined phrase, 'animal spirits'. As you say, "whatever someone is willing to pay".

This should be a great story to follow.
