Yes, one for me please!

As I've just returned Rick's PM, I've emailed a Mr Wang at Wenzhou QingPu Electronics Company in China in reference to the latest posts. I've asked if they have a local distributor here, and if not would they send me 10 each of the 4 & 8-pin models.

I'll let you know!

[DavidU (Dave)]

Excellent !

I'll take a set if you get some Chris.
I've already ripped the guider plug apart twice and and the 232 plug once while the rig was running
I'm bound to wreck a socket eventually

I'll take a set as well Chris.

Thanks!

15 x WQP-MDC-6-101E

If it is not too much trouble, could you please advise me of the total cost of these, sent directly to the following address via airmail on EMS:

They're on their way next Monday. Should be here a short few days later via EMS. These guys are quick.

Price: 1 x set of three (a 4,6 & 8-pin) $12 including delivery to you guys anywhere in Australia. A cheap fix for a niggly Temma!

Good result. I buy some electronic parts from china at very low prices and great shipping.The hardest part is actually finding the parts you need.
