Looks like an interesting story behind the on-line sale [ending [20/3/22]. The current owner doesn't seem to expect high prices just somewhere for them to go [that isn't a skip

]. It night be Might be worth [no pun intended] anyone nearby checking it out. Perhaps it's me but the Wessex Auctions site didn't appear to say where it is, ie Chippenham, Bath

Well I bagged LOT 3 which I hope to pick up tomorrow (22nd March). I only wanted the LAB80 and single player BA1 for spares. The other decks are free to anyone who can pick them up from Watford, I am just off junction 5 of the M1.
The decks are Model 210, AT6 Mk.II and model RC70B.
I have no idea of condition, the LAB80 looks rough but I have a chassis from the USA with a 115V motor and 60Hz pulley so I need the deck for spares to get this going.
