Feck me i got a couple of old sets out in my shed,,soon to be seen on ebay if there making that sort of money as i ain't kept ferrets for years now..

As for the boxes being 8 or 15 ft,that 's just a different sticker on the dial,it's the collar that transmits further....Just thought i'd let you know......

Exactly right Steve .The 15 footers were double battery collars ,shite but better sound than the robotic things they do now .

 My first one was a fiver with the collar early eighties but hence it did fall of the back of a lorry ?
