Do any Local Suppliers Sell GPUSB units?

I would like to know if any local suppliers sell Shoestring GPUSB units? I have been looking around at different websites but can't seem to find any local suppliers that sell them.

Before I order one from OS please let me know if there is a supplier that sells them.

Try Bintel.
I've seen them at the Sydney store so give them a call.

It's pretty painless buying one from shoestring with paypal.
Was about US$80 including postage without the st4 cable.
Took under a week to arrive.

Was painless for me ordering direct from shoestring too.. great service as well, when my GPUSB went bung (one of the wires came loose from the USB input). He explained how to fix it up, so I opened it up and soldered it back on - all good!

If no local suppliers stock them I will definitely order one directly from Shoestring.

Just a general question, I see that the GPUSB does not include a cable to the mount. What kind of cable do I need for an EQ6?

Matt,

Have a look at the cables on the Shoestring web site.

The cable has 6pin RJ12 connectors on it and it is a straight through cable like the image. RJ12 comes in 4 and 6 pin.

I just ordered a GPUSB from Bintel. Both stores in Melbourne & Sydney had them in stock.

I was weighing up whether or not to buy one directly from Shoestring but my first choice was to get one from a local dealer.

Thanks for your help and I can't wait to start guiding!
