Okies.

I have a shedload of miscalaneous DIN cables.  Mostly econet and CUB
leads, but might be some cassette leads mixed up in there. I'll shove
them all in a box anyway.  I've only got a couple of Econet T pieces
that I can find, but have my old socket boxes and terminators that
would be available.

Power leads, I've not really got much spare unfortunately, apart from
4 way mains blocks, which you haven't asked for ..

Um; I've only got mains powered ones that are in show-able condition..

I'll do my best .. Finally got around over the weekend to setting up
as much as i could at the same time, to check interactions, and
discovered that most of the masters from the attic need new batteries
..!  I think I've got enough kit working for what the BBS needs; will
sort out a couple more to see what's going on with the rest.  I think
there's a fully working B there, though, but was no use for the BBS as
I need SWR (or two free slots)

Oh ... and why would a Model B give me an inverted, black-on-white
screen?? ISTR that's something to do with the ULA and maybe a link
somewhere, but couldn't find it on a quick search.

Apart from what I'm using, I've got a spare (low-res) cub, plus a
philips and acorn arc monitor, a (crt) TV with scart and a really old
TV with only RF. But I've only got cub leads..

Yep, though notes as above.  Will double check what's working and see
if I can get any more tidied up.

LOL.

Dave -
I'll do my best to be there as early as I can Saturday, but not sure
how early that will be.
