Hi Geoff,
Have any friends/family/aquaintences/etc. going to/from SEQLD who might be
able to put at least one system in their load? It's like a shuttle
transport. Sort-of what some of my Teletype collector colleagues have been
brainstorming for moving large items cross-country in the States.
Just a suggestion . . .

Good luck. I see you've got until 14 May to get in on it. Somebody would
have to get the whole lot though as that's a stipulation that QMR states
first :-/
