mwhouston Posted May 17, 2017 Author Posted May 17, 2017 (edited) I will put $10 toward postage. This covers postage to most capital cities. Edited May 18, 2017 by mwhouston

And after owning one of mark's battery powered jobs myself, they offer distinct advantages over mains with crappy walmarts or transformers onboard degrading the sound [emoji106] Sent from my SM-G900I using Tapatalk 1
