BTOR man has broken my NTE5 ?

Glad it's sorted.

Which would have made the scenery while driving all the more spectacular. Making me homesick. But also making me grateful I no longer live in an area these things are an issue. :-[
I remember part way up 'Rest And Be Thankful' one December afternoon, aged early 20s, in my Ford Escort 1100, and finding that wheel spin impacted progress no matter what gear I was in. The whole road was sheet black ice, freshly frozen rainfall. 'What fun' I thought, 'A challenge', and continued my journey, sliding every which way, but came to no harm. These days it would terrify me, I'd either turn back, or check in to the first hotel I could find and stay there til spring. :'(
Weaver:
It has been cold, but beautiful blue skies here.

Replaced the front faceplate - an rj-45 / rj11 - only straight-through one - with a new one out of his van. The original had come from the AAISP shop. A bit suspicious that it was working until yesterday's man attacked it.
Very good that today's man had a replacement in his van.

That is surprising as not many engineers carry that plate, it's since been discontinued (like most things) :(
Weaver:
@runitdirect - Yes, I was pleasantly surprised. Our man said he had never even seen one before. I hope this doesn't mean that I will not be able to get them from the AA shop any more.
Mrs Weaver presented the previous day's surly Gall with three new NTE5/A backs which I got from the incredibly useful runitdirect shop. I picked the Pressac type that have no MOVs or whatever (I hear you, Burakkucat) .
If I had a volunteer I would insert a second unit that has a MOV inline in front of the existing NTE5 and compare the performance to that with a second MOV-less one, although it perhaps isn't ideal methodologically speaking. But I don't have suitable fingers at my disposal.
Welcome to user runitdirect by the way.
Weaver:
Correction: I was misinformed. Mrs Weaver now tells me that our good man fitted what sounds like an SSFP of the usual BT Pressac type, I presume. I was indeed amazed at the idea that he had the straight-through fronts in his van, but our man he got us sorted out anyway. I had ordered some more straight-through fronts already before Mrs Weaver revealed this.
