the unexpected bonus is of course that you also now know the difference between MX900's and MX1000's! :daumenhoch:

lol, yeah i discovered that difference thanks to the guys on here a while ago too.  :daumenhoch:

only other thing i wish i knew a while ago (read: in the mid 80's!) was that i really shouldn't have used wet n dry to remove the gold anodising from a set of MX1000's.....  :-[
