[quote user="evman140"] Thank you Peter. My reason for this thread is because a very good deal has presented itself.

The eBayer in question has been on my banned bidders list for some time and the fact that he has been the subject of this post is to be commended.

Panels for Penta were still available as of 6 months ago. In fact most parts for the Penta range were available with the exception of the display covers.
