Guys, Guys, Guys...
I am overwhelmed and slightly gobsmacked at the level of interest. I hope I won't
disappoint you. Since the stuff is in machester and I am in Somerset (about 200 miles
apart within England for those of you in the USofA), I won't know in detail what is
involved until I get there at the beginning fo the week when I start clearing out. I do
know there are a lot of electronic test equipment including scopes. IBM '60s manuals
and hardware descriptions, mag tapes and paper tapes. Lots of valves/tubes also.
Please keep telling me your interests and I will conact relevant people nearer the time.

And I should have said that, being local, if I can help I am more than
willing to do so.

Be expensive to ship to the US and if they have local relevance could our UK
Museums (MOSI in Manchester , TNMOC at Bletchly) have a shout. If the paper
tape is reasonable shape I am pretty sure I can read it and upload the
results to BitSavers if appropriate

IBM '60s manuals and hardware descriptions,
mag tapes and
paper tapes.
Keep CHM in mind for these (or at least let Al look at the list).

The custom drive with 16 track magneto-restrictive head arrived last week,
so I'm hoping to be able to read most 1/2" tape formats this fall, esp the
big backlog of 7 tracks we have.

manuals and hardware descriptions, mag tapes and paper tapes.

I'm close to Manchester. I'm not into the big iron, unless you turn
up an ex-Prestel GEC box and/or media (whereupon I'd move heaven and
earth to get it), but would be interested in anything Acorn/BBC
related that might show up. Plus I could probably do with a 'scope if
there is anything small and cheap that I can "just use".
Best wishes,

The 1960's IBM manuals and mag tapes may be of significant interest.
The number of people who can recover the information off of 7 track mag
tapes is small - the ones I know of are in the US (one of whom is a good
friend). I'd definitely be interested in a list of what they have.

200 miles? That's nothing to those of us who live in the western US :-)

Sometimes I think we should segregate this list by continent to diminish
the gnashing of teeth :-) but on the other hand some of us will sometimes
pay the way for EU (AU, etc.) kit, and I'd hate to miss out on it! :-)

I think I snagged an EISA IDE caching controller card from a UK member years
ago from this list. Generally its just software or small hard to find parts
that I will spring for overseas shipping since shipping is getting more
expensive it seems every year. Even getting items from Canada has become
expensive (I have shipped monitors over before).

I did spor the smiley... but I do think this is a bad idea.
Techncial issues are mcuh the same al round the world. If soembody in the
States is repairign a pERQ, or an HP9830 or soemthing else I've seriously
worked on, I can probably help for all I have by machines running off
240V mains...
While it might not be sensible to ship large minicomputers between
continents, it's certainly possible to ship PCBs at not to high a cost.
I've done it many times. I haec had the odd complete (and heavy) device
sent to me - -shipping was expensive (as expensive and the unit), but I'd
ener have got one otherwise.
