So,
I guess you're wondering,
How the hell did that happen, and which box is it !?
The Grandmaster first.

He just happened to come to Rochester England the 9th of November for a concert :-D . It just so happens that I live a 45 min train ride from Rochester as well :-D . So naturally I had to go. The place was packed and the mood was great. I brought a drawing I did of him as an art-project thinking maybe he could sign it, and I brought my TEC 879 RR as well, everybody loved it. The concert was mind-blowing, I knew almost all the word to all the songs he played: Wu-tang, LL cool J, Sugarhill Gang, Run-D.M.C. and his hit "The Message" as well :drool: . So he totally ripped it, and then he took a lap around the front of the stage to shake hands and SIGN MY DRAWING :jawdrop: :jawdrop: . Un-Freakin-Believeable. Then I got a ride home, so the whole night cost me £ 13.5 :lol: .
Here are a few pictures:

Then the box that I got THE SAME DAY.
This is the one I got from U.S.A. Took a while to get here, cost almost as much as my other boxes together :sadno: and was high-risk as well. But it was all worth it this time. You'll see.
And thank you Jboogie2384 so much for helping me out :smooch:.
So I'm going to do the "post pictures of the box and keep 'em guessing" :-P :
But I can tell you it's my new favorite box and will be that for a long time.

The condition is Top Notch, the chrome is chroming and the plastic is black and shiny. It's missing three buttons and the antennae are not original and one is snapped, but other than that it looks pretty new. Cleaned the speakers as well so they got that creamy look :thumbsup: .
The sounds is mono at the moment, but I'm getting some Deoxit to fix that hopefully. The bottom deck doesn't work and the top one works occasionally. The line-in is great though, and even with one speaker it really thumps.

So, in conclusion:
I love this thing.
Best day ever.

Peace.
