Title: The 'R' Word...
Post by: L90E on February 07, 2021, 12:22:40 PM
Often abused and seldom true, there's a word that even the site moderators won't allow to be spoken aloud.

I however think in the case below it could correctly be applied -

It's ironic that weeks after my doing away with the Fischer C-Box and spending years trying to hunt one of these down this appears now.

Having said that there's no way I'd be paying anywhere near the asking price (and that's without factoring in the now to be added VAT / Customs).

I'm pretty sure Fischer made more than one of these and if I've learned anything it's that if I keep looking I'll eventually find another... plus anyone who knows this seller will also know they tend to be at the top end of the price range.

Ouch that's a pretty penny, be cheaper to buy a 3d printer and print the VDO/lcd panel

No there was some discussion a while back that it's stupid and annoying and just confuses newbies to the site so I think it was removed. ;-)
