        Hi Guys,
                 Got an expensive haul on ebay of 17 issues of Amtix , I am now pushing through the scanning at breakneck speed, done 4 issues last night and got 4 scanners running so might get them all done by the end of the weekend!  Still need to find 17 and a better issue 4 (has the page with the waterloo review cut out due to the back issue coupon being on the other side  and 7 that  has some water damage but is ok just not great condition.  If anyone can sell ,lend or scan

Oh and have Issue 0 scanned .

Find them in the usual place ,look under user zzapmort on the internet archive and type amtix or use the link below:

Yes, I saw Zzap and Crash uploaded as well.
Might check those out too.
My poor bandwidth!  :laugh:

Those are some big files!

I ran one of the pages through my OCR software, converted it down from 13.9MB to 386KB, not too much loss of quality, a little but not a lot as Paul Daniels once said.  It did a reasonable job of reading the text despite the pattern background.

Leeching away - thanks for offering them. I'm going to add the torrent to my seedbox for everyone to get instead of hammering the server :)
