[QUOTE="Suicide Bobb, post: 6826082, member: 617319"] And for those wondering how much I got this beaut for...I'll start off with how I came upon it. This is how the story goes... I buy and sell audio equipment on craigslist as a hobby, which means I am on it constantly, doing a general search of the electronics section. I know, there are thousands of listings, but once you get caught up, you only ending up sifting through a couple hundred every day, which isn't so bad [IMG]//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif[/IMG] So, I open up craigslist, and one of the first items I see is a...PG Cyclone?
