Subject: Trip to London, want BBC Micro stuff...
This fall (Sept 29-Oct 3) I'll be in London...while I'm there, I'd like to
pick up some BBC Micro stuff (disk drives, software, etc. would be nice).
...
I know there are issues about charity shops selling
electronic
equipment, though...
Virtually no chance of finding such in a charity shop - much
better chance
at a boot fair (still not brilliant, but I tend to see Acorn stuff
(Beeb/Master/Electron) at about 1 sale in 3 - Spectrums, Amigas, and STs are
more common. Macs used never to be found, but I have seen quite a few
recently.
If you have use of a car I can let you know the locations of 4 or 5 big boot
fairs in Essex. Get up early and you should be able to go round that many in
a morning (most of them finish around midday).
