Ex-MTB 149 Posted June 23, 2009 Share Posted June 23, 2009 (edited) Bringing things down a few levels (down LOTS in comparison to Turntable's drool inducing collection): I'd love to upgrade (the cartridge outclasses the rest of it) but there is no chance at the moment.

Yep It's about 18 months old and rarely used, I haven't had the heart to take the covering off, once you do you spend the rest of your life trying to remove the fingerprints Carts are off, cos it's going into the vault with much of everything else I still use the TNT 3 for everyday playing Cheers Edited June 23, 2009 by Nude Link to post Share on other sites
