Why? I collect artefacts from the days of the minicomputer and earlier and
I want them for my collection/display. They should be not too damaged and
of course do not need to be functional. I would be willing to pay
postage/freight.
Any offers? Any offers?

PS Please don't shout at me!
I exhibited a front panel collection display at
VCF West about 4 years
ago. It exists not because of a collection, but as spare parts. Also
brought one attached to one of my machines.
there were two from a friend's collection of systems as well. Sorry not
to help out, but suggest you buy the machine, not just a front panel.
That way when they are no longer something to have to display, they can
be passed on as a part of functional machines later.
I did grab a couple of parts panels, and also did find a panel bezel on
Ebay, but they weren't cheap, and by what usually happens, the machines
showed up from somewhere else later after I acquired them.
thanks
