    Your roadking can easily be repaired.

    I like both equally.

    Demand for a quality mic and technology that goes into making that mic. Professional braodcasters pay 1-2k for a mic.

    Have you seen what he has been paying on eBay for those old Collins boat anchors? I saw one that he bought for $8,000. WOW!
    I truly wish I had one tenth of his radio budget...........I could live well for years.....

    I do know that he, and Bob Hiel are pretty tight..........
