And it's gonna be a doozy.

On the drive home last night, thinking about what to do with my early SDA 2s now that I have a pair of SDA 2.3TLs.

And I decided I am going to karma them...right here on the forum that introduced me to the SDAs in the first place.

So there are 2 caveats to this karma.
1. You *have* to pick them up at my place in West Des Moines, IA. I will not ship them or deliver them. Not out of any desire not to help someone out...but because I have spent the last several weeks driving WAAYYYYYYYYY too much.
2. You will have to pay...2 6 packs of some strange an exotic beer. No Bud or Miller or that ilk. But I figure the $15 it costs for a couple of good 6 packs is a more than fair exchange.

Now to the business...
These are the early SDA 2s with the blade/blade and SL1000s. They do *not* have an interconnect cable. They are far from perfect. They have nicks and dings and scuffs and scratches. But functionally, all drivers work just fine.

I will give it one week and then randomly draw a name from all of those who are "IN".
So all you have to do is state "IN".
Just remember, you will have to pick them up and provide me with 2 6 packs of delicious beer.

Good luck everyone.

    Definitely a good Karma not in but sure hope someone within driving distance of you with a good taste in beer gets this Karma.

    Damn, nice karma. I want to say in but my wife would kill me if I made a 9 hour round trip for these. But then again, I've always wanted some SDA's. I'll go ahead and say in. IF I win and can't make it out there, I'll let ya know!

    Hehehehe... for now fella's I am working on something else and all my time and funds are going into it. It also requires me to travel a bit over a couple weekends so I need my wifes understanding.... and this would likely get in the way of that lol...

    Also TBH if I was going to go for SDA's it would be 1C's or CRS+'s.

    Got a pair of SDA 2.3TLs with a box full of upgrade parts to scratch my SDA itch. :cheesygrin: But figured I would pass on my good fortune... So hard to give things away these days. :lol:
