I've just been contacted by a chap who posted to one of the Acorn usenet
groups the other day - he has a range of stuff available, including a Domesday
system player / disc / manual, 3 x Master 128 machines, and a selection of
Cambridge Workstation software and manuals.
Unfortunately his deadline for moving it is Monday, and all the people who
have responded to his usenet post have let him down. Master 128 machines are
common enough, but the rest is reasonably rare.
Is anyone able to rescue this lot either for the museum, or for themselves?
Whilst we'd welcome the Domesday and Cambridge Workstation stuff at the
museum, I'm more interested in the rarer bits not going to landfill than anything.
The guy lives in Gillingham (the Dorset one, not any of the others) and works
in Camberley, so it seems like a pickup can be sorted out from either location.
Original usenet post with a more comprehensive list is here:

If anyone can help, that'd be great and I can put you in touch with the owner;
unfortunately there's not a lot more I can do from the wrong side of the pond,
and our one guy who lives close to Camberley is away right now... :-(
cheers
Jules
