Got a call, he's back in town and still seems willing to unload it for 150 bones.

It just dawned on me, I can anodize the C-record stuff flat black with Mil-Spec hardcoat (I have components anodized this way twice a week). Lightly sand out any scun, and run the parts through the parts treatment room, then have them anodized. An all black group of C-Record would be awesome.

We will see what happens tonight when I check it out again.
