Hi,
I'm forwarding this on behalf of Bruno, who can't be part of the yahoo group for now:
"Hi everyone. I received an email from a gentleman that has some Timex Sinclair material. Some of the items are not rare but he would like to find a home for them, rather than having to get rid of it or try to sell it on eBay. He contacted me but I can't make such purchases at the moment. He told me it was ok to post his name, e-mail address and inventory list so that anyone who might be interested could get in touch with him. I hope those items will find a home. Some tapes might have software that has never been preserved.
Quoting the email messages I received:
"In a message dated 7/5/2010 12:34:26 P.M. Central Daylight Time, [email] writes:
I have tons of Sinclair equipment including many interesting and I am sure obscure books including machine code for the Timex and a couple of dozen magazines with programs, extra keyboards Ram packs, Printer even a 2068 with no accessories. I was going to try listing it all on Ebay but if I could find another way I would like that. Not trying to make a killing, just get it all in good hands at a reasonable cost.
I am attaching a copy of my Timex stuff. I am trying to clear my storage box and I hate to just toss it. I'm sure it is worth something to somebody.

Unfortunately the list was in Word 97 format so you'll have to forgive the lousy formatting:
