If it turns out that I won't be staying with VM, they're welcome to pick it up.

It is an interesting point though, think how many people disposed of their old VHF TV's after BBC2 UHF started, their monochrome TV's after colour started and their CRT TV's after DSO believing them to be worthless?

If it weren't for the odd person keeping them, there would be none available for historical TV enthusiasts to pursue their hobby and we would be historically poorer.

What was regarded as rubbish is now worth money again all these years later!
