That one that's being given away were more or less a grand at the time :eek:
Worth nothing now :violin:

I doubt I could remember all the receivers I've had over the years :D

WOW thats a lot of money especially 20 odd years ago!!

I thought the £270 at the time for my TM-Twin was a big spend :(

That site says they ranged from £1000 to £2500, at the time I was bringing home £125 a week :eek: so I guess they were about 3-4 months wages for a mid range setup :roflmao:

I used to think the Luxor XLE was a beautiful looking box, remember them? The remote was a huge square thing.


Sent using sorcery and the magic interwebs.

IMHO the Pace MSS500 was the best looking box :D
