content: I suppose you could try listing them on ebay, novel display technologies usually sell well. Shipping is going to be the problem for anyone who is not local though.

content: Quote from: james_s on January 25, 2018, 01:42:12 amJames, I could but honestly I don't want to wait around / deal with random queries about it. I'm not looking to gain anything from them. Hence why I've listed them on here for free. This is just in case some one local is interested.

content: If I was in the neighbourhood, I'd probably drop in - but it's a bit of a drive from Sydney.I'm curious, though ... could you box them up and if so, what size and weight would we be looking at? I just want to get a feel for courier cost.

content: While I am still interested, my desire to acquire had more of a flavour of "Let's not trash these" than "I have a project for them". Icouldfind somewhere to stash them that SWMBO wouldn't notice (for a while, anyway).As such, I will step back and let Dave have first shot at these.
