Did, but OC outputs, 10 with a 3m slot for $18 shipped. They may take a schotkey gate for buffer just to get the active outputs & gobble up the long cable to LCNC noise. Fun & games making one of these in miniature. With a single bolt mount off the side I can fine tune the quadrature a heck of a lot easier. > Thanks. > > Cheers, Gene Heskett Cheers, Gene Heskett -- "There are four boxes to be used in defense of liberty: soap, ballot, jury, and ammo.
