[cctalk] Re: Stuff available in Somerset, England - Update and MORE STUFF

Dear all, I am still trying to declutter enough to empty the storage container, and have room to move around in my basement.  I have decided not to renew the lease on the storage container on 10 January, so stuff needs to go by then. The following stuff will go in the skip if no one comes and collects it by early January: D-Scan video printer DECwriter 2 printing terminal A device for cleaning DEC RK05 platters, poor condition, mechanicals corroded, no cleaning pads or fluid - probably display only. The following stuff will probably also go in the skip: Teletype 43 (the dot-matrix Teletype - this is rare but boring; probably rare because boring) A wide range of other small dot-matrix printers - let me know if you are interested in anything of that nature, and I'll try and make a list. The following are available free to anyone prepared to collect: IBM System/23 Datamaster - complete with (yet another!) dot matrix printer.  I have some software for this as well. ACT Sirius 1.  A fairly complete system including some software (Wordstar and some accounting packages).  I may need help disentangling Sirius stuff from Apricot stuff, since the same ACT logo often appears on both. The following are available, but I'd like to be offered a non-negative amount of money: Apple II systems.  Four system units (I think they are two //e, one ][ plus and one ][ Europlus, but I can check.  Some disk drives.  I should be able to find a monitor or two.  Quite a lot of manyals, plug-in cards, probably some software disks - but I may need help sorting out Apple II disks from others.  Some of the plug-in cards are prototyping cards, and I think one has been set up to talk to some analogue gaming paddles. Research Machines 380Z.  (One of the people who collected other stuff from me has expressed an interest in this, and his prior interest will be taken into account in considering offers.)  I have a system box (I haven't yet looked inside) with diskette drives on the front;  I also have a GIPB (IEEE-488) card and a rather nice I/O prototyping card - it is pre-populated with three PIO chips and one other large chip, all in wire-wrappable sockets, and lots of space for a homebrew interface. A Victor V86P laptop.  I know nothing about this machine, but it has the Sirius logo on it (I think the Sirius 1 was sold under the Victor brand in some places, so this figures) As before, please reply to declutter(a)axeside.co.uk, whether or not you reply here.  If I get interest in some of the machines, I'm happy to look more closely at them and try to answer queries.  In general, I'd prefer people to come and collect stuff, but for the smaller items (e.g. the Victor laptop) I'd be happy to discuss shipping.  Collecting stuff yourself is a more reliable way of getting the parts you need (e.g. cables), and of finding other stuff that I don't mind getting rid of. As regards the systems for which I want money, I do not guarantee to accept the highest offer; as I said, I have already had interest in the 380Z and this will be taken into account. Finally, I am trying to contact Anthony Sibley.  We started making arrangements for him to collect some stuff, and then I stopped getting replies to my e-mails.  Either he is not receiving them or I am not receiving his replies.  Please get in touch, or your TU16 will go elsewhere, maybe even in the skip. Philip.
