:-) I'd need to figure out some clever hardware to bank four of them 
(English/French/German/Italian) for the teletext pages I view (BBC 
World/arte/TV5 FBS/Viva/RAI Uno) and have a little dodah hooked to the 
User Port to toggle the right one into operating according to the 
language in the header.

Do-able. But then so was putting a human on our orbiting satellite. It's 
a different scale of "do-able" than normal. :-)

Nice to know there is still a place to find the older hardware. Does 
Cricklewood have a catalogue in PDF (or something else I can download 
and take home to read?).

Best wishes,

Rick.
