Retro modathon

Lads, I'm making an order with Radionics for some bits I need to carry out the last of the mods on my own consoles. Before I order, is there anyone interested in getting the below done, and I can add them onto the order? I'll leave the thread here until Monday, when I'll bang the order off.

Oh yeah, I totally forgot about that wire length issue. That was a weird one.

As there's no switch needed, would a two leg oscillator do? You can get twenty two legged 40mhz oscillators for £3.10!

I don't see how, as the way I understand them you need a pin for voltage, earth & one for the clock signal (the switch isn't a pin). How this is accomplished on a 2 legged oscillator I've no idea (maybe their designed for series wired circuits?). I can't see them working for what we need man, back to the four legged variety I'm afraid

Ah grand, found an auction selling two four legged 40mhz oscillators. You can hang on to the other one yourself.
