Not right now, but I likely will have some spares (clock box, Econet 
modules for BBC micros etc.) at some point within the next year. I want 
to set up an Econet at Bletchley once things are more stable there, 
hence the reason I don't know what I'll have spare yet.

I expect I could find you a couple of BBC micros if needs be too, 
although postage costs probably start going through the roof at that point!

You might want to keep an eye out for other Econet-related bits in the 
meantime - Acorn Econet bridge, SJ Research Econet bridge, PC Econet 
card, Atom Econet card, Acorn Master Turbo (so you can run a fileserver) 
etc. as none of those are very common. Clock boxes and Econet modules 
for the BBC B / Master tend to turn up quite often in comparison.

cheers
