SpeedofLite,
I really enjoyed this read, I never heard about the "Biemmezeta Chronostar". I did a google search for a little more information on the maker and it seemed to be either a love or hate relationship. I will be on the lookout for one and hope it will be my size.
From BF:
Looking for info on: Biemmezeta

Great blast from the past!!! Thanks for posting.
I remember reading this issue back then, and lusting after the 3V.
