Title: Few nice pick ups today.
Post by: midschooljon on October 26, 2014, 08:30 PM: A buddy I haven't chatted to for a while sent me a FB message today saying he was having a tidy up in the shed, and wanted to know if I was interested in 3 things he had found. To my surprise they were all rather nice!

First up some decent looking DX pedals.

A XL TNT stem. Missing its bolt but still one of the harder TNT stems to come buy.

And finally a genuine WAL stem!

Im going to use the DX's on my Condor build, the XL TNT stem will go on my Hwa Fong Daddy, and the WAL stem will go on my Riot. :daumenhoch:

I have had a few friends offer me stuff from time to time, and most if it isn't stuff I can really use, so this was the first time I have come across a few things that are all nice, and all bits I can use. :daumenhoch:

It does look quite long but it is definitely the real deal. :daumenhoch:

Wasn't casting dispersions Jon, just compared to others of the same ilk, it looks long, nice finds though!

I thought the same when I first saw it. :daumenhoch: They are quite slim stems, so I think it makes them look longer than they are.
