I'll endeavour to get a breakdown of the parts available but I'm not making
any promises that I'll be able to get a good enough deal on the whole lot
should it contain a large number of valuable parts.
I haven't been able to establish if the management would be keen on doing a
private sale but I'll see what I can do. I've been able to sight a lot of
good pieces and much of what's there has been sorted.
