Test Equipment Anonymous

A privately-owned computer museum I hadn't come across before, in the Yorkshire Wolds.

From https://www.hulldailymail.co.uk/whats-o ... ed-9450159 "I went to England’s least-visited tourist attraction and had a major surprise in store" there is a link to https://www.computermuseum.org.uk/ "Jim Austin Computer Collection". Looks like some interesting kit there, with mentions of "RadioShed" containing radios and valves.

Has page of links to similar museums elsewhere https://www.computermuseum.org.uk/othersites.html

Was it only me, or was it impossible to get into the forum over the last couple of days?

I had problems too.

There has been "strange traffic" observed elsewhere e.g. "For some reason this thread has become super active again in the last 24 hours :-// We are supposed to be blocking AI bots now." https://www.eevblog.com/forum/chat/baid ... msg6314350

Then again, there can be a myriad reasons since the internet has recently become a battleground for commercial and military reasons.

No. Definitely not just you - I was getting bad gateway errors and refreshes were taking forever. I almost DM'd you on DIY Audio to see if you were seeing it too, but then decided to wait it out. It seems better for now at least. Fingers crossed it remains so.
