Hello Richard,
I was sure it was you.
Have you tried getting a cholk (ballast) from Erwin Boot at Flamingo Records in Tasmania?
Here are Erwins details:-
flamrecs@bigpond.net.au
www.flamingo.com.auAUTOMATIC MUSIC CO. and FLAMINGO RECORDS
Street: 140 Campbell Street, HOBART TASMANIA AUSTRALIA 7000
Postal: Box 717, HOBART TAS. AUSTRALIA 7001
Phone within Australia: 03 6234 1300 or 0418 127 514
Phone International: + 61 3 6234 1300 or + 61 418 127 514
Fax within Australia: 03 6234 3944
Fax International: + 61 3 6234 3944
If you can not get a ballast locally I can send you one from the UK, but as you say the postage even the economy route may be as much as the cost as the ballast.
I would estimate the cost of the part plus delivery will be £23.00
Regards
Alan
