As some of the readers of this list will know, I operated a
preservation microfilming business here in London since 1982. The
business is now closed, and I wish to find a good home for the
equipment that made it all possible. At the risk of appearing crass
and commercial, I have listed it below, with what I believe is it's
fair value as used equipment, along with an offer for sale at a
reduced value.

If any of you, or anybody you know, is interested in acquiring this
equipment either as a package or as individual pieces, please contact
me by any means available. I would prefer to dispose of it as a
package, of course since it constitutes a complete lab as is. Offers
will be considered.

Time is of the essence, as my storage options are constrained.

great success

Any and all ancillary bits, pieces (there are things like a

instruction in operation, for expenses.
