Ok - I'll take no (relatively immediate!) crys of "no, don't do it" as an 
OK. Thanks!

I visited yesterday but stupidly didn't take photos, however I have a 
spreadsheet so I'll extract the relevant details from that. There are 2 
large monitors in the collection too, so you'll need a good back to lift 
them and a big car/van.

There are some disk units, and what I think are tower units maybe a 
pizza-box sparcStation (it's a long time since I worked with Sun kit, so I 
didn't recognise some of the bits immediately)

The back-story is that my friend who had them died back in February and 
left a rather large connection of mostly retro 70s/80s computers plus "job 
lots" of others that he picked up along the way, and I'm now helping his 
family (remotely as I'm in Scotland!) to respectfully clear the 
collection. The famly want to realise some money for it, but I'm sure a 
small-if-sensible offer won't be refused.

So bear with me and I'll get a list together and post it here in a new 
thread.

Thanks,

Gordon
