Post by: David Rooney on January 04, 2010, 09:35:57 AM: There were a few amendments to 88... I think short circuit protection ie. fitting resistors to call points came in as an amendment, and detector head removal monitoring was also an amendment....

.....however I am another year older now and the oldest brain cells are definately dropping off.....

If you give me an auntie nell on the old dog and bone tomorra, I can maybe give you the gen on it. Be careful on the vincent price while the current brass monkeys are in urgent need of welders.
