Pye camera bits and pieces to good home

[austvarchive]

I've just been cleaning out my garage and come across numerous cables, plugs, boxes and other bits that go with the early PYE camera chains, unfortunately the plastic/rubber is begining to perish and i really think its time to "chuck them".

I hate however throwing away such items that may be vital in getting the chains working again one day, but i think the chances are pretty slim for mine without almost completely rebuilding them, and the large camera cable lengths i had were all stolen many years ago for their copper content by a previous landlord (i took them to court and won, but never got the cables or anywhere close to their value back!)

Anyhow i wondered if anyone here has any use for these for parts they may be seeking in restoring themselves. The plugs i thought may be salvagable?

if so let me know at james at oldtvgear dot com

otherwise i will have to throw them away, the trouble with collecting is that it soon gets out of hand and things MUST go...but finding a home for them can be hard...plenty of people seem to say "yes! I'll have it" but few ever actually make it happen...thats why so much inevitable gets thrown away eventually!

I pointed out your post to Brian Summers who I'm sure would be interested, provided the problems of distance (to the UK) could be solved. AFAIK he tried to contact you.
