Valves for Colossus

The National Museum of Computing at Bletchley Park are on the lookout for old electronic valves in order to keep their rebuild of Colossus (the first ever electronic computer) running for years to come.

If you've got an old box of valves stuck in the loft or somewhere, you can either take them to the museum on your next visit or contact me and I'll pass them along on my next visit there. Even if they are not the right ones, the museum can use the old valves to barter for the right ones.

Thanks

Martin.
