Thanks Doug.

We don't have Radio Shack here in the UK - it was Tandy for a while
but they've all disappeared. Did check out the patch leads at Big City
Music and they turn out to be from Analogue Systems in UK so I'll
go ahead and order some. Along with the EMS licenced modules they are
doing...

Are the minijacks generally reliable I am discovering a lot of flakey
ones on my modular. Will get busy with the Servisol over the weekend.
