Must admit I'd never thought of that but evolution is a pretty slow process and I don't think they've changed much from their imperial past. Not those I've seen anyway (but they were all post mortem and it can be hard to tell). So the 'Merkin kit should still be the stuff to go for - and it probably explains why you don't see them in the TT catalogue. The Germans never did get on with rods and perches and that kind of thing.
Mind you, it came off a Pan Euro so how the previous owner ever managed to fix it up I'll never know. I'd have thought you'd need some sort of conversion kit but there's nothing in the bag that looks like that. What I thought might be something to do with it turned out to be an Autocom intercom system (he didn't want that either) - anyone know how to wire those up?
