Default Re: The National Museum of Computing clearance

Good evening,
I contacted them and went along this afternoon. They have quite a vast collection of valve based oscilloscopes awaiting disposal and came away with (probably too much!!) several oscilloscopes, the spectrum analyser, the radar display unit and the counter. There are still many Tek 500 series scopes, rack mounted scopes and ex government scopes and many others including a home made one still avaliable. All are in excellent complete condition and have been dry stored. If you want to save anything next weekend is going to be their last If you are lucky, looks like the scrap man could dispose of them. It's a pity I didn't have a van or the space as I could have taken several of the scopes to next months Harpenden B+B stall for donation!!

The museum store is certainly interesting to wander around in with many ancient computer and electromechanical bits on racks.
