Thanks Harry and Jane for your replies. I considered asking for the new one to be sent to me here (in Northern Thailand, 1400 kms north of Bangkok) but I would not trust post, customs, shipping etc to get it to me before I depart for home (on 24th March). I would love to try it, but Murphy's law would no doubt set in, and I would never see it again. I had to opt for the safer and more sure way of getting it sent to my home address. Sounds, from what you both say, like there is no chance of resurrecting this old one?
