    Is there much smoke in those?

      Xogg, old chap, these are esteemed customers we're talking about here.

      Protection?

      That'd be a first.

      The other feckwhit (the non smoking one) is attempting to send RS232 via radio.

      He doesn't seem to realise that you need Manchester encoding or something similar to actually do the job (because RS232 has a dc offset).

      10's of k, I'd have thought.

      If only for the gold inside them.

      Unless you've got some Nixi tube driver chips.

      Which are quite valuable.
