Trafford Park Raid Manchester 12.03.15

I'm not privy to the information as to what is where exactly, but I do know that there was a large financial investment required to make the whole thing happen so yeah, I think we can assume that stuff that hasn't seen the light of day yet is in the hands of the people that had to lay out that cash.

Whether the stuff will ultimately stay in their collections, be restored, some more be offered to the community or what, well, that's up to them i guess, not for me to speculate...

Look on the bright side: even if they do go into various collectors lock ups for 10 years they're probably better of than where they were and they were already out of sight and forgotten in any case so it'll make another nice find story in five years time

Hey Tony,

90% of the games you mentioned in your post are sitting in a lovely game room of a certain person. Only the Tapper, Major Havoc (Space Duel Conv) and Tapper aren't.

I am hoping he's going to have a meet - in fact I've been encouraging him to have one.

Watch this space.

And no I don't have any of them!

There were 7-9 filing cabinets FULL of all the Atari Ireland paperwork, sadly none of that was found. We are not sure what happened to it. Is it elsewhere? Was it dumped already? (we know they chucked the CAT boxes before we got there )

We found literally about 4 inches of documents which I have. I've taken some pix which I'll share.

So had someone else been in there before your visit pilfering bits? or were the storage owners already actively binning stuff. Great shame if that paperwork has been lost to the sands of time.

I turned up a bit late in the morning.

Anyway, I don't like having my picture taken, I believe it will take my soul away.....Equites2016-02-01 23:05:29

Any updates on whether the documents were scanned or are likely to be shared with the community?

We are very close to the 1 year anniversary now, and it would bo cool to see what was there

There's a link to some of it earlier in the thread dude.

I'll scan it at some point. Need a pc and scanner though!

I can only see one page. Is that correct?

I thought you worked in IT? Never heard of an MFD with an auto document feeder

 

[Bensonrad]

I'll scan it for you if you like Alpha1 if you want?

I saw more of those banana boxes in the background of the 5 cabs for sale post, what was in those, do tell, the banana boxes are mysterious and exciting.

 

[Alpha1]

I'll fix that link. There's more than just that one pic!!!

Banana boxes has manuals in mostly. Some had PCBs. Quite a lot of that was handed out as freebies to the people helping load.
