Thanked: 116Tongwha #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

Thanked: 116I 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.

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"
"Don't be stubborn. You are missing out."
I rest my case.
