Well that's all fair enough and it isn't "easy" I agree Tony but an entirely new set of external circumstances have arisen in recent years. It had actually seemed to me that, in fact, it's now being dealt with rather well and consistently by all concerned-especially the Mods. We all want to help and not to exclude anyone but it's a two way street and just asking a couple of pertinent questions back can often make a great difference. We can't expect a new person to know much it's true but preliminary research is so available in the Internet age by comparison to "back in the day".

Perhaps a small introductory [read only] section for beginners, with warnings about what not to do [ie immediately power it up] and a direct link to Paul Stennings excellent long standing guide to buying and working on vintage equipment, might help
