If I find a cheap one, i'll buy it, else, i'll go for the A'PEXi one (£70, new in box) .

A shame all the time you guys lost around those diagrams and never "completed" the project.

Thanks again.

Yeah i think so, but from what i've read on his topic, he doesn't actually make them.

As I understood he has stopped doing them... or I'm wrong?
He's not the one who makes them. He orders and ships them.
