Line tester and break finder.

Bought one of these off ebay:-


and it's a very useful tool. Identified the correct signal cable out of several bunched together on a test.



Would need adapting for the main purpose it says it's for - the phone plug is a US one. But it has crock clips too.


I've got a PTS 100/200 which has a standard BT plug and crock clips, but I have a few adaptors I've made up too, RJ45, RJ11, which are useful. It works well on mains cable too, but you obviously have to make sure the mains is disconnected first.

Yes - my intention too. I was wondering which low cost strong small plug/socket to use as the 'master' between lead and adaptors? XLRs are a bit large.

I use a standard BT phone plug/socket. That way, some of the time you don't need any adaptor at all, which is one less adaptor to makle up.
