Well, I'm not planning on replacing anything until it stops working and
I can't fix it...

The CD player's display hasn't worked for about 10 years, but I can live
with that, though I admit was looking at the prices for second-hand
Cyrus CD players last night.

Your requirements for white plastic conduit with a snap on cover appear
to be ridiculously small, given the amount of 'airtime ' they have
received but are probably well within the few spare/unwanted bits I have
up in the rafters of my garage and which will be going in the skip I
will be ordering soon, when the weather improves - you can have them for
nowt if you are able to collect from St Neots, Cambs??

Many thanks for the offer, but I haven't any plans to go remotely near
there any time soon.
