thedarxide Posted April 3, 2008 Share Posted April 3, 2008 It looks similar to the Spector holoflash I had. You really had to catch it in the right light though, otherwise it just looked dusty! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pete.young Posted April 6, 2008 Share Posted April 6, 2008 Sounds like someone got a lot of bass for 200 quid. Also looks like it went to someone who collects ornaments, judging by his feedback! LOL. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
