Noted. Possible that the museum *may* be interested in it - we'll need a
proper 3 phase supply for a few things at some point anyway, so that's
not much of a big deal. I'm actually surprised it needs 3 phase
actually; most things that sort of size don't.

We need to head out to that corner of the country with a van at some
point anyway...

We don't have any big Vaxen a present, although there's an 11-750 in
Somerset to be picked up which'd certainly hurt if dropped on yer
foot :)

Bit wary of the "I don't have the keys so it's not been opened but came
out of a working site" thing. Quite possible it's been stripped of
disks, memory etc. by persons unknown. The fact that the DLT drive is
intact is promising though.

cheers

Jules
