you guys really are old on the job! i used to solder these in DA systems in Southall lol , factory was strange place boss couldnt count either!

The Monitor 6 which was the rebadged Racall Countess replaced these if I remember rightly, I remember many chats Gordon the tech support guy on the monitor 6. The DA Endevour (or something like endevour) was the bigger panel only come across a couple of those. It was all old DA, Castle 1250's, Munford & White, then Arun Elites, in my earlier days. Moving on to the Abacus and Castle 2300/2700 series with the odd Rascall scattered around LOL
