It looks like its nothing special, but what's up with this power rating? Doesnt match the cheapisch look at all! Is it a monster?

I think this sums up why you bought it. Good for you Reno!

This definitely is a hobby of two halves I think. On the one hand it is a quest for the best sounding, best built, best looking box; on the other hand it is about nostalgia, trying to re-live happy memories. I have in my collection some pretty crappy machines, but they mean something to me either because I owned them, aspired to own them or friends owned them.

You can count me in the latter half of your post Seb. It sums me up in nutshell

seb968 - 2013-10-07 06:24

It's a large part of what makes it a great hobby
