Finally got both Philip Rees 5x5 switches working together. Didn't get a manual with either of them so had to go searching for the wiring convention, even the Philip Rees website doesn't contain any info on this item but the man himself supplied me with what I needed thankfully.

Not long after the guy who sold me the second unit found the manual and said he would send it on, unfortunatly he didn't put enough postage on it so the PO want £1.30 off me before they will let me have it, as it happens I don't need it anymore.

I know have a fully working switchable 5 in and 10 out MIDI patchbay, considering how bad my soldering is I'm surprised it works!
