After some months, my C500/720/540 rig is now up and running. The 720 came across from the US (they are impossible to find in Oz) back when the currencies were almost at parity, and had to be converted for 240V/50Hz operation. In the meantime (more good luck than good management) I stumbled across a Catholic church in Melbourne's southern suburbs who were disposing of their Gully 600 after years of niggling problems, (what's new) and its Leslies 705 & 540. The Gully was repaired yet again and headed north, rodents had chewed through the 705 cable, did some serious damage, the cab is still in a workshop somewhere, and the 540 (the only one of the three in good shape) with its Y adapter came down to me. Good luck because a 540 on its own is even more difficult to track down than a 720 in this country.
