Hi!
I wish I could get into all those university lab Clearout/skip finds/giveaways everybody else seems to get!
Even looking at "for parts or not working" is no guarantee you'll pick up something at a fair price, more and more wassocks with more credit–card than common sense are starting lousy "bid–wars" on things and even bits of junk in cosmetically very poor condition are starting to change hands for well into three figures, which is frankly just ridiculous!
US Vendors in particular use the nastiest trick in common use, a very reasonable "buy it now price", but they bung £700 on the postage!
Any suggestions for obtaining reasonably priced T & M in the UK for repair or parts only welcomed!
