Price point taken, yes, they would be expensive in the individual packs like
7858 & 7859. Speaking as a former 12V user, there was that nice little
add-on called 7863. When I bought my system in 1985 (great year for
American Dollar) in Europe, I bought a pair of the 2 pack manual switches,
7856, and later ordered 7863's from Magasin Du Nord (you think Pitsco/Dacta
is pricey!).
TLG could do the same w/ a 9V version, just offer an accessory pack for
those who want it. (Except it would be in North America market too!)
