Yes, I can appreciate the need for help, and I'm sure many in SLUG
would be only too willing.
What they need is storage space - some kind company to donate (free,
gratis, etc) some floorspace so all the old stuff can be gotten
together on one day, sorted, the really crappy stuff stripped for parts
and / or skipped, and the rest at least catalogued. I'd say probably
50% of the stuff at work and here at home will end up as parts, or in
the bin.
