I've been posted to England for a bit, and I
wondered if maybe one or two
of the UK list members would give tips on good sources for systems and
components in the South East. I collect mainly IBM midrange, Atari and
UNIX flavours, but I'm toying with learning PDP11. Are there any good
swap-meets, favorite skips, etc. you could clue me into?
Whereabouts in the south east? Universities are pretty good if you can
make a few contacts there (although the good old stuff is pretty much
drying up now). With a bit of googling you'll probably find a freecycle
list close to you too - I've seen things crop up there before.
Unfortunately the UK doesn't seem to have the equivalent of US
salvage/surplus places :-(
cheers
