Anyway the O3 IMO is a nicer head. Till you break one... the Tait control mics are quite cheap but find out how much a replacement O3 mic is. I'd like to say more but I might ruffle a few feathers...

Any pics ?

Matt,

the reason I ask is I have seen a couple of times where a least one of these stations has turned a pump out with a crew of less than 4

thanks for the info, however a quick question?

So as you have not listed then, could I assume the Blue Mountains stations 301, 445, 359, 495, 226, 386.

Are unaffected by this change ?

If this is the case what happens when these stations cannot field a crew of 4?
