Hi everybody,

as I don't recall seeing this offer around here (may be just rusty memory on my side however...), I thought I'd forward this for good measure.

I'm considering making the 2k mi trip together with my Dad but would do so only as a last resort to save the machine from being scrapped.

I think I have some excess CPU boards, maybe a clock board, spacers and PCU/fan boxes from a gutted E4k class machine here (southern Germany) so I might be able to help people looking for parts.

So long,

Arno // DO4NAK

At a pinch, I might even be able to extract the 16-slot Gigaplane backplane from the steel chassis.
