There looks to be a high percentage of Spectrum titles unfortunately (and duplicates). I assume that all of the cartridges will need new felt pads fitting and from experience 1 in 5 tapes is likely to be jammed and unusable. Of course I have a limit, as the preservation project has to try to break even somehow - but I will not disclose that. If someone else is willing to spend the money, acquire the tapes and preserve the software (and pass it on to the preservation team) then that is great news! For me the advantage of them being purchased via Dave Park who lives in the USA is : a) there is less danger of the tape content being corrupted by x-ray machines and being moved about in transit b) he will replace all of the felt pads and sort out the working tapes in exchange for keeping some of the tapes for his own personal use or sale Rich Forse la cosa migliore da fare è _non_ fare offerte (per non far salire troppo il prezzo) e lasciare che Dave Park abbia la possibilità di aggiudicarselo ad un prezzo non proibitivo... che dite?
