You kids are having far too much fun!

By the way, I too remember a bunch of those things and had to support
customers using them in such metropolitan centers as Roseau, St.
Georges, 
Kingstown, Plymouth, Castries, Bridgetown, and Roadtown as late as 1990!
Try getting someone to help you fix one!

I'm new to this group but sure glad I've found you! In the past 2 weeks 
I've archived about 70 messages for future reference.
Thanks for your insights and the benefit of your experience.
