Got rid of anything this ancient years ago, but I'd suggest checking with the local university to see if they keep surplus electronics onhand. I know that my employer here in the states. Vanderbilt University, keeps a rather large warehouse of surplused electronics equipment because it's illegal for them to dispose of it in landfills and their waste disposal contractor would cancel their contract if they did. These types of facilities are a goldmine for finding old, obscure equipment. I've heard of numerous professors scrounging complete test apparatus out of that warehouse. Brandon D.
