Hi Noel

Sorry the tinyURL URL didn't seem to work :-(

If you go to www.rswww.com and search for 104 452 you'll find them

The RS price is £38.75 + VAT although you can probably get them
cheaper
if you hunt around.

I've no idea what RS charge for delivery as I have an account so it's
free delivery. I think it's about £10 for non account holders.

If it helps, I can order one for you and have it delivered directly to
you at no additional delivery charge. You just need to send me a cheque
or transfer.

Let me know if you need any help.

BTW, hunt on the RS web site and you may find others cheaper too. I just
chose that one as an example. The important thing is that they have
separate contacts, known as Volt Free Contacts so you can feed the clock
and the load from different supplies. send me the product code if you
want me to check out an alternative.

Regards

Neil
