[sdiy] Vactrols...

[Tom Bugs]

If what you received look anything like those in the picture, they may 
be made by Silonex
- http://www1.silonex.com/
I think people have used types such as the NSL32 instead of Vactec ones 
(due to being a bit cheaper) - Farnell, for example, sell NSL32 // 
NSL32R2 // NSL32R3
-- these always have mystical markings on their bodies, bearing no 
mention of their actual product code etc..
Hope that helps a bit..
