Final update: I got a helpful response to my email to Triton in Australia via Sharp End in the UK so that bit's working - I was quite impressed. Sharp End have plenty of MOFs in stock and are "having no problem getting fresh supplies" but was only able to make optimistic noises about the...

Not that unique unless you know something about eBay after sales I don't :lol: Your point about a repair being available at any price is spot on I think we're definitely on the same wavelength Krysstel. I'll keep my nerve until the end of the eBay auction (17/1) but then make a quick...
