Why did I say wheelie bin?

Because that's what HE said.

Turned out to be a large tub, about three quarters full.

I'm kind of glad in a way, because, I wouldn't have had the space to store that quantity of cables.

Here's a rough breakdown…

About half a dozen parallel printer cables.

Extension cables for 9-pin serial, and a couple for those big old DIN keyboard connectors.

Various gender benders.

Some phone cabling and connectors.

A good lot of coax ethernet cabling.

a 56K MODEM.

a strange beige metal box with nine 25-pin sockets on it, 8 female, 1 male.

a very strange looking video cable. (Still bagged, too.)

Not quite the haul I expected, but, better it went to me than the local tip.

Anyone in my area need anything?
