#287039 - 21/09/2006 12:49 Final tuner kits
pca old hand Registered: 20/07/1999 Posts: 1102 Loc: UK	Hi. I have gone through the remaining tuner stock, and I have: 30 complete kits another 15 missing the antenna lead a further 75 tuner modules miscellaneous bits and pieces So, to get rid of them, and because I haven't had any orders for many months, I am reducing the price to £85 including postage to anywhere in the world. This is more or less cost. I will knock off £3 for the ones with no aerial lead, which should be easy enough to find pretty much anywhere. I don't really want to order another batch, since I have to get about 30 at a go. If anyone wants one, PM me and I'll sort it out. Also, can anybody think of a use for 75 semi-custom tuner modules bought at great expense and effort? Pca _________________________ Experience is what you get just after it would have helped...

They do require some work to put together, but there are some BBS members that can help you with that (AndyM did mine), and maybe a local mobile phone/tv repair shop could also do it for you. If you fancy a tuner for your Empeg, please pick up a kit from Patrick! He has too many kits to just shrug off. _________________________ Hussein

What's the difference between the "complete kits" and the "tuner modules"? Are any of them assembled and ready to use, or will they all require soldering/assembling? Cheers, Jeremy

PCATS unassembled tuner kits Quote: What's the difference between the "complete kits" and the "tuner modules"? "Tuner modules" refers to the actual electronic component that receives radio transmissions inside the tuner kit. It's reasonably useless without the rest of the kit. Quote: Are any of them assembled and ready to use, or will they all require soldering/assembling? Assembly would be required. _________________________ -Rob Riccardelli 80GB 16MB MK2 090000736

toolman member Registered: 10/10/2001 Posts: 105 Loc: Wellington NZ	Would love a kit but the New Zealand dollar translates very poorly... 80 quid = NZ$240 which is: * 252 hamburgers from McDonalds * about 1/2 a weeks wages for the average NZer after tax ($586 before tax) * 160 litres of petrol * a bucketload of 5 cent lollies! _________________________ ToolPeg: 010101886 Mk2a 120Gb GrillPeg: 010101956 Mk2a 80gb

canuckInOR carpal tunnel Registered: 13/02/2002 Posts: 3212 Loc: Portland, OR	You'll end up better off with the tuner kit, than if you ate 252 burgers from McD's or a bucket full of 5cent lollies, and the earth will thank you for not burning that 160 litres of petrol. It's only half a week's wages, after all!

toolman member Registered: 10/10/2001 Posts: 105 Loc: Wellington NZ	You have mail. Is there any online docs on how they are assembled? I need to psyche myself ... According to Google cache, it looks like it was here http://www.pcats.co.uk/tuner.html but isn't anymore. Patrick, fancy emailing it to me, or posting it somewhere ? <edit> found the link in google cache: http://www.reality.pwp.blueyonder.co.uk/manual.pdf Edited by toolman (02/10/2006 22:41) _________________________ ToolPeg: 010101886 Mk2a 120Gb GrillPeg: 010101956 Mk2a 80gb

I think this is one of the first times I ahve ever assembled something electronic that worked first pop! The manual is nice and verbose/explicit about what to do, made assembly a breeze.

RobotCaleb pooh-bah Registered: 15/01/2002 Posts: 1866 Loc: Austin	Ditto. I was ecstatic to see it working as intended once I got it hooked up. Good thing, too. I wouldn't have known where to start at figuring out why it didn't work.
