[R-390] TEST EXTENDER CABLES

Thu, 8 Apr 2004 08:42:52 -0400

I wish Fair would have made fewer extender cable kits and saved all of those
R390A Audio decks that they cut up.

Every time you see modules missing connectors it usually means that somebody
got a great set of extender cables.

On the other hand, buy one of the audio decks or other modules missing the
connectors for cheap and restore them using the extender kit!
