Larglier = Betterer.

Last one went for $172.49.

Also, if anyone that is grabbing these from hereabouts, I demand autopsy por^H^H^H pictures.

Damn.  You think all of the buttons are wired to the main unit?  You could tie a cruise ship to dock with that cable.

I was thinking about that. Considering the (relatively) small size of the unit, it's likely that the controller isn't onboard and that the cable supports a wire for each point on the matrix.
