Yeah saw that after the fact. The problem in these situations is when something is this rare (substitute rare for cool and you just made one hell of an understatement, but yeah it's really cool), you have to take a punt sometimes and hope for the best.

Still on the positive side of things; if it's a case of "3rd time's the charm" on this then this is the second bad deal I've had with a Power Base, so the next time should be a total milk-run.
