[peel] Mystery Box

[RobF]

I've been racking my brains as to how to encourage more people to share
their old stashes of tapes. There must still be loads out there.

Short of asking someone on Twitter with a lot of followers (hem hem - hello
Mr Quantick) to put out an APB then I guess we're stuck scouring Gumtree
and eBay

On the subject of eBay, I had my dummy listing (pointing people at the wiki
and asking if anyone had any tapes)  removed yet again. I think they have
periodic sweeps of all listings that contain links to external sites.
