Frzninvt Posted January 5, 2006 Share Posted January 5, 2006 We have a winner! 1986 it is. Should have AK-2 networks and K-55M midrange drivers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DRBILL Posted January 5, 2006 Author Share Posted January 5, 2006 Thanks, Lads, I once had a chart. I'm pretty sure the boys borrowed it. Mayhaps the wife trashed it while dusting. It couldn't have been me, methodical as I am! Best, DRBILL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
