dont know what made me think too look on ebay for a m70.. fate?? destiny??? what ever it was.. the m70 runs deep in my blood! held one in my hands for a summer at 17. tried too get my parents too buy me one but were very consevative.. even thought i know now they had credit up the wazoo.. guess too teach me the value of things you work for... so i got a brand new pioneer sk 650. loved it too. lighter than the m70. cool unit. it took me 30 years later too relise the dream of owning one of my own..and in a weeks time... less i hope, the apitamy of the ulitmate m70 will be in my hands... old school, with what words can not even describe thrown into the mix!!!! great things come too those who wait! a big thanks too Clp Chronic. for all your questions. time too reply. and has become a boombox buddy.... you have talent beyond your years my friend.... Vintage Man is happy beyond words!
