Many thanks to ronbryan for the telecoms switches, plugs, and jacks. They will be very useful for future repairs, sent very promptly and extremely well packed.

My thanks to Dave (nutteronthebus) too. My home hub also arrived safely today and is working well.

Another vote of thanks for David (G4EBT) for sending one of his Minimod PCBs in my direction.

It arrived this morning and looks just the job, he has also included circuit and layout diagrams - all to his usual high standards!

It's much appreciated that he included me in his last production run - I couldn't produce something as good as that.

Thanks to Mike (Crackle) for his time and trouble this morning, and huge thanks for the AR88, that is in the workshop, and on the bench - maybe time for a look over it tomorrow.

Great to meet you, just sorry I couldn't manage a little longer to look over your fine collection of KB radios.

Many thanks to Kevinb for the two Grundig tape recorders which I collected today. Good to meet you and sorry that it was evening rather than the morning as originally agreed.
The UK version of the service manual will be very useful not only for this one but my other machines.
Thanks again!
