Hi Jim (and thanks Bob!) No need to go through eBay, though... they're available from my website at the same price - $3.38 each. The big distributors will be carrying them before too long, but I got lucky and have production parts in stock now. Well, not luck really - I ordered them a loooong time ago. ;o) I just sent some very recently to Australia in a "Global Priority" flat-rate envelope and it took 5 days. Feel free to email if you'd like more info or want to order some. Randy www.glitchbuster.com (This seems to be the night for answering questions about things I happen to offer for sale. Not an attempt at shameless self-promotion, just trying to be helpful. Honest!) > Jim, you can get 'em from Glitchbuster on EBay. He's on the PICLIST (Randy > Jones) but I don't have his email handy.
