This is all very interesting!
I work in a school as an IT technician, and not long ago I pinched 13
SJ Research double Econet sockets from the original maths block, when
I was supposed to be wiring in a couple of extra ethernet sockets. In
fact I got incredibly excited when I traced some cable and found the
SJ terminators in the ceiling, plugged into hidden socket boxes that
probably hadn't been seen for years. I took those too, and a bunch of
the cabling. I got into quite a bit of trouble with the senior
management for leaving the holes in the walls where the boxes had
been, as some of the rooms had just been painted. Plus, something to
do with potentially exposing asbestos in the walls.
All in a day's work for a retro computer nutcase :D
