I'd imagine that any BBC kit that is still in great condition (electrically and cosmetically) would have been 'liberated' before getting to an auction.
Inventory control is not something BBC is noted for.

I think the problem with blinkered views is the investment of self worth in a standpoint, when in reality we have to adapt and accept change in our lives, and admit our own errors.
At Bush G800 cartridges used to regularly go 'missing'.

Indeed, but most of those folk will never change - the blinkeredness and dogma is too deeply ingrained! And they simply won't listen to reason.Originally Posted by Pharos

Yes, so much is it a part of them that they see it as a threat to self worth. In reality we have 'software', which is thankfully adaptable and changeable.

Haha - that is why the EMT cartridges use the Neumann 'diamond' contact arrangement, so that they could not be 'sublimated' (EMT's phrase) by employees to be used in their SME-style arms at home.I'd imagine that any BBC kit that is still in great condition (electrically and cosmetically) would have been 'liberated' before getting to an auction.
