Hi folks,

I had a look around in all the cheap shops in town today, but couldn't find any of these apart from the rip-off Maplin one. I'll have a look around the cheap shops near where I work this week. Hopefully one of us will find a cheap source of them not requiring postage!!

The one in Maplins had a very long rectangular section, that could be shortened quite considerably without detriment I think.

Whilst I rarely have the tangled-cable problem, it would be good to be able to simply plug the turret cable in and out.
Having said that I have used veroboard, 0.1inch pitch pins and the 8-way cable from blown HL boards to make a few of my turrets pluggable.
The benefit of having all 8 pins is that you can pass the MG signal to an LED in the turret.

Try these from e bay, mine took 2 days to arrive and cheap enough. he does the handset cable very cheaply too ( I got stung 7 notes ! . . . .)

Hi Andicog,

I know about that link because I found it and posted it a few days ago!!! See above!

Plus, I don't think you've realised just how tight I am (ask Tiger205, he knows me!)
If I've seen then for sale somewhere (with extra postage I admit) for ~90p, then I'm damned sure I'm going to find them somewhere for about that price and _not_ have to pay postage!!

That's how tight I am!!

Hi Guys aquestion about these adptors how many wires do they conect have a battle system in mine as well as recoil unit and elevation dont think there will be enough conections inside one of these.

regards pete

hi pete,
          when me and nigel were discussing these adaptors, we see they only had 4 wires comeing from them, which is a bit of a bummer for me, aswell as you, still i'm sure there must be something out there that will do the job
