Tongwha #77 Korean Frameback + My RAD

I picked up one of these on ebay this morning..... why? I have no idea, the price was *right* I suppose.... Does anyone have any opinion on these? It's a 6/8 frameback....My RAD is out of control, It needs to go on hiatus for a while or my wife will literally kill me.... Thinking of disabling my ebay/paypal. The disconnect from seeing actual money is an issue. It's way too easy to click a few buttons on the WWW and pay for something and ignore my credit card statement...How do you fix this $hit?

Get a couple crappy ones and bring them back to life.. Don't buy anymore until you have dinished the ones you bought.That will slow your purchases down

I think that's a good plan. I got a bench grinder and will be picking up some cotton wheels and getting some polishing compound from the ACS (metal techs) on base here as well as some brass rods/washers so I can start taking stuff apart to do more in depth clean-ups. I don't have the funds to get outfitted to start making scales yet but would love to get into it at some point.

do you have pics of the blade and scales?
The spelling si very suspiciously similar to the Japanese Towa #77.

Here is one I have. I asked JimR what it said and he promptly told me he did not read Korean! :)
I took it to a local Korean owned business and an old guy said it read some kind of flower or something. Then he told me
it was "Velllllllllly Dangerous" :rolleyes:

Brooksie Buddy! Sounds like it's intervention time :/ My "roommate" (some call her my fiance) still doesn't have access to my accounts (and I hope that's always the case). We just have a joint account to pay all our mortgage, bills, taxes etc. Everything else is separate.... so if she just happens to be home when I recieve a package I just say "What?! it was only $20" or that "oh I just sent it out for honing". If she finds out I'll just explain how RAD is "slightly less destructive than a hardcore drug addiction or an extra marital affair".

I literally just heard the Price is Right Loosing sounds in my head when I read this! Secret account... different bank. Get rid of that direct deposit ;)
