Hey Tommy..... Thanks for the thoughts..........he might well have ended up there again, 'cause that's where he said he was from............. Anyway...........you're a hard working guy to take the beast out on the road..............but you can't beat the filters. That real analog twist is so unique...............It's one of my favorites. I have three.....one is a parts keyboard at this point because someone used the two outside keys for a repair (of course).......and it's missing a one of the RAM boards.........but It does power up and is very clean. So if the old girl goes down, I just might be able to help. It looks like all the other chips are there, so unless I get it up and running, I can always try to loot a part for you. Best of luck toting the beast around............. Take your protien pills and put your helmet on......
