Re: FS: Tempest CPO - VL Special!

It would be very nice to finally have a perfect repro, as mine original is
only a bit crackled and I like it to be all original... but if these repro's
are as good as I think they are! I'm very curious for you guys opinion of
them, but I am sure Chumblespuzz has done a magnificent job on this one,
just like the spinner bearing kits!
