    Part of the Furniture Combo Breaker
    I've sent off 4 HP cartridges and one old mobile that still worked but I've no idea if the points have been added. I think they haven't but don't know how I'll be able to check up on it.

    tried ebay but can't see any cheap enough to make it worth the hassle

    There is a forgotten, nay almost forbidden word which means more to me than any other. That word is England.

    Thats where I always pick mine up from for recycling..normally paying under £1 too. Look in the childrens toy boxes too at car boots as sometimes they have been used for toys and they leave them in the boxes.
    Good luck.
