My apologies - BA23 was what I meant but my fogged brain came up with 
128 as a commonly used replacement number when I couldn't recall the 
exact one.  At least this confirms it for me - thanks!

Oddly enough, due to money restrictions it's going to have to come out 
of storage.  Hopefully my new job makes enough for me to at least turn 
it on once in a while. ;-)
