If its Qbus it's likely a suitable
candidate.
Geography defines how easy it is to find stuff. Here in MA I tend to trip on it
and I could not even give it away. In foreign countries not so much L'll bet.
I'll repeat my previous offer (made after you mentioned you had to
take some BA123s to the dump): If you'll ship a BA11-M, -N or -S,
or a BA23 or BA123, I'll pay shipping and a reasonable fee. Around
here (Philadelphia), they are surprisingly scarce (either that, or
I'm looking in ALL the wrong places).
Either that or I look in all the right
dumpsters.
I took the 123s to the dump. Reason is crating for shipment would be
expensive.
They weight more than I can lift easily.
BA23s are amazingly heavy as are BA11s.
For that reason when I have excess I've always made it clear shipping is
NOT
going to happen. They just don't go in a cardboard box via UPS.
So happens I have a complete BA11 box with cards last used it was
operational.
However shipping if out of the question, can't pay me enough to deal
with that.
With that I'll add this...
Over the years Ive gotten a lot of systems and parts because people got into
the hobby and found they could not deal with the space or technical issues.
I've see a lot more go to the dumpster for the same reasons. Often the
collection they have is a lot of random hardware and really short of docs.
Without documentation your not going to get far and the internet is not
all the answer. Consider that before you start.
