UCC certainly had a wire-wrap tool and plenty of wire when I was around 
the clubroom (86-96 or so), but if they've gone missing, new ones aren't 
expensive.

If I can make it down on the night, I'll come along too. I can even 
bring my only two big wire-wrap projects as 'show and tell' - the main 
control board and the ISA bus interface card for what I'm pretty sure 
was the first digital camera in WA. I built the camera to use on a 
telescope at Perth Observatory, and we were still using it up until 
around 1998.
