Last days of the 172s on the electrified GOBLIN

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.
So we may be getting closer - the problem was a lack of boards, not a
lack of components to put on them?
