Issue 234 - Aug 2007.  I've still got a copy.  There is certainly one with
only * rating costing only £14! -When we increased the load to 75% (of

There are also a couple with **, neither of which would supply their rated

The ***** ones cost more than a genuine Iyonix one from CJE,  so you takes
your choice, really.
