I recently bought a load of masterswitches.  Spent well over a =A31000=20
on them.  Only to find they were all duff!  Fortunately I was able to=20
take them back and get my money back.  I've kept one to see if I can=20
fix it.  But currently no working masterswitches in stock.  They go=20
for about =A3200 on Ebay.  And after my experince, make sure you get a=20
warranty in writing!
Shame about the old XR cables!  If you had say, 6 complete sets then=20
I'd swap them for a good size UPS.=20=20
