Cuts the pages to four.</div><div><br></div><div>Seems the bidding on all the lots I checked starts (online anyway) at $200. If no bids... l'd guess the auctioneer would start at a lower figure. With around 400 lots, and minimum bids on all stuff—electronics, film and office equipment—the sale would bring $80,000. The flyer list 700+.</div><div><br></div><div><b>Contents of interest to Quad folks:</b></div><div>There are a number of AVR-2's on the block, including a PAL unit...
