Are these the same as were used on the IPX/LX, Sun part number 530-1662? I
have a box full which I picked up at a car boot sale (what's the US
equivalent, auto trunk sale?) which I recognised as we used to run a load of
IPXs. I knock these out on epay for UKP 1.00 each (USD 1.50) plus shipping,
one every month or so. I am quite happy to let list members have a few for
shipping only, contact me off list (Shipping would be from the UK, so US USD
2.00, EU EUR 1.50, UK 41p).
