Does CiA want its *own* Field Telephones?

Reason I ask, is that we seem to have used them quite a lot in the past, and i'm getting rather pissed off with my ones either going "missing" or getting broken. The Czech ones are for sale at £36 quid a pair on eBay at the moment (3 pairs available) and I will certainly not be putting my German FF33's in places where they can be kicked/abused/nicked. (NB - the czech ones and the original German ones are interchangeable on a phone system)

Also, we're going to need a *lot* of D-10 for this site. At least 2Km of it. I've got close to 1 Km here, but CiA could really do with getting its own as well.

Sounds fair enough to me. Indeed I'd say its better that the kit isn't pukka for the reasons you gave.

Well, if we have the funds, i'm more than happy to sort out the purchase of two sets of them. Total would be £90 (including the £18 postage)

Would prefer a yes/no sooner rather than later!

Right, that's two sets purchased. I've asked the seller for a receipt, which i'll forward to Steve when it all arrives. Held off on the third set as I'm fairly sure that my local surplus store has a pair for sale (and we can save on the shipping that way!)

Reminds me.........want me to make up some pukka signs to go with them all? (shit, I have the time now!)-- attachment is not available --

Well, at your age David, I suppose that signs pointing towards the nearest toilet might be useful. Y'know, kinda helps you avoid those little "accidents" then tend to happen when you're getting on a bit.... :whistle:

Yup, I discovered at the Victory Show that 'little dribbles' show badly on bright yellow tropical trousers. :oops:

Those "little dribbles" probably more due to Helga than bladder issues.... :roll:

£81.97 total for the 4 phones and shipping - got a bit of a discount off the postage cost.

Telephones have turned up. They're in good nick and work well. Just got to sort out some D cell battery holders (couple of quid each) and solder some flying leads onto them and they'll be good to go :)

Steve - PM me your addy, and i'll stick the bill in the post.

Had a pretty rotten day, due to a mate of mine getting pretty fucked up by being hit by a car late last night. So some retail therapy kicked in, and I bought a cable backpack. Heavy as fook when loaded up, but meh, it'll be punishment duty for whoever pisses me off the day that we need to lay out a load of line.

Stephen

Bit over two hundred quid. Doesn't bother me when its original kit though, as it always gains value in the long term. As to the CiA phones, i've just got to find time to pick up the D cell battery holders then add it all up.
