A copy of Garry Pimm's Web Site

Hi,

Anyone have a complete copy of Garry Pimm's DIY web site?
Tried to download it from web.archive.org, but this backup is far from complete and much of stuff is being lost.
I have my own server so its not a problem to host a site of whatever meaningful size.

PS. Uploaded copy of Patrick Turner's site to my http://www.vacuum-tube.eu, red link from the front page (URL of a copy may change in the future because of site engine redesign, so please don't bookmark a link, only web site).

Code:
wget \
     --recursive \
     --no-clobber \
     --page-requisites \
     --html-extension \
     --convert-links \
     --restrict-file-names=windows \
     --timeout=5 --waitretry=0 --tries=3 --retry-connrefused \
     --domains web.archive.org \
     --no-parent \
         http://web.archive.org/web/20090416222321/http://www.pacifier.com/~gpimm

What was original URL of this site?

ultraanalog.com or ultranalog.com don’t recall but the wayback machine doesn’t have it. Pretty sure that was the name. He had some DHT setup with a bank of small lead acid batteries for b+ and showed the aftermath of what happened when an alligator lead slipped and shorted. Also he started doing experiments on the enormous GM100 tube before pulling the plug on the site. Want to say it was mid 2000s or so.
 
Uploaded VoltSecond DIY site. Status: almost complete, few images are missing. I merged several Wayback machine snapshots to rebuild it to the best condition possible.

PS. Admins, is it possible to rename thread to "Saved copies of defunct DIY sites"? Looks like I can't change subject of a thread. Thanks in advance.
