I've had them for about 10 years or so and each time they tell me this is a better make as the old issues are gone....Bullshit they have. The idea is exceelent, jut a shame they don't last.

Anyone else even in this N'g who had that model would have had the same feature so I can't understand why someone of Noddy's expertise would even say that they were not available in OZ. Regds Milton

Nod said first that they were never built, probably because I said I owned one :) Then after I presented him with the proof that they were, he quickly changed to "never available in Aust". Seem you have now shown otherwise....guess he'll be on the 'manual was never available in Oz' line now. More twists and turns than the road to Mt Hotham.
