You'll know then which components were impossible to source. Feel free
to fill us in on which ones they were.
As I've said more than once it wasn't a components problem. It's that the
boards were unmanufacturable at any affordable price. They needed
redesigning for modern components
I think Spud wants to know why they couldn't use the old boards with
the *old* components.
What old boards? They would have to be made and assembled from scratch, an
unaffordable prospect for the additional radios Railtrack wanted.
