utectok Posted February 6, 2009 Report Share Posted February 6, 2009 I don't think you should use them risky. Send them to me and I'll test them once I have fired them once I'll send them back. All part of the service! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will send you two so you can test one and send the other back all the way to Athens Greece.!!! Thank you again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
