Supplier of cheap scart leads, 2.5-3m?

[Rave]

Hi, I need a couple of scart leads about 2.5m-3m long. Anywhere know where I can get them cheap? ATM the cheapest I can find is about a tenner, which seems pretty steep considering you can get a perfectly functional 1.5m one for a quid. If the vendor sells reasonably priced component leads about the same length then so much the better.

Check out Homebase's Posiscart range.

They're pretty cheap and also have a positive click action which means that the plug stays plugged in - and that's a huge bonus from my viewpoint.

There's a picture in the first update of our All-in-Wonder X1800 XL preview.

Both AV only SCART lead only £0.98p each from Maplin.

Unfortunately they are discontinued so once they are gone, they're gone......

I bought 3 on ebay for something silly like £5.

I dont normally use ebay, but for small things like this, I always have a look.

Thanks for all the suggestions. The locking scarts look favourite, since the cables will be being hidden away in some trunking; it'll be a pain if they come loose. Did you notice if they did longer leads when you were there Bob?

[Bob Crabtree]

Rave,

I'm sure they did but I was only interested in short leads so didn't really give the full range a proper once over. I do remember, though, that the range did includes some Scarts with flat cabling.

The stock on show, of course, may vary from branch to branch and my local, I think I'm right in saying, is a relatively small one.

Sounds good then, my local is a reasonably sized one and I have to head over that way tomorrow anyway to visit my mum. Thanks.

Yes it's me, but I very rarely look like that. I grew my beard for a bit and then shaved it off in stages for a laugh, taking pics along the way. That was my attempt at the 'let's off road!' guys from The Fast Show. Nowadays I don't have much hair up top unfortunately.

AFAIK I have never been to Cannock.
