  • +3 casette leadsHi has anyone got a set of +3 casette leads I can buy or have!!

    Make your own, it's not very hard.

    You have a 3.5 mm stereo jack on one side and two 3.5 mm mono jacks in the other. Buy stereo audio cable and solder them yourself.

    Or ask in the shop, many electronic shops build cables for you.
