+groundtrooper Posted October 10, 2016 Share Posted October 10, 2016 Nice little project. I have a similar Vader that I got on the bay about 6 years ago. Good luck with the sale. If I didn't have mine I would pick this one up! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+wongojack Posted October 10, 2016 Share Posted October 10, 2016 This is a great deal from a great seller - If you have come to this site to investigate the 2600, you should buy this. I doubt you will ever find a better deal on an updated system. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

icemanxp300 Posted October 10, 2016 Share Posted October 10, 2016 I guess I'm confused? If it is Composite modded shouldn't it have RWY jacks? I guess I do not fully comprehend this as I only see one out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
