Davecarney2 can answer that. Not sure where he ordered it from.

davecarney2 · 01-11-2014, 02:53 PM

Ill have to dig through my records. I ordered it just cant remember where from. It was an advertisment in a magazine.

apache200 · 01-11-2014, 08:10 PM

Ok Thanks it looks like a good unit from what I can see in the pic

SCHRUMGMC · 01-12-2014, 06:03 AM

davecarney2 · 01-12-2014, 06:45 PM

The booster was ordered from www.gearheadworld.com but I don't see it on their site now. I ordered it about a year ago and it was on sale. Maybe they quit carrying it..not sure.

davecarney2 · 01-16-2014, 07:45 PM

Got a lot blasted today.

davecarney2 · 01-16-2014, 07:51 PM
