JMJ -

Any update to the links? I know it's been 4 years, but the links don't work.


RE: Equipment Tutorials... - Hasdrubal - 10-20-2016

I agree mj. It would be nice to have working links to those sites.


RE: Equipment Tutorials... - Robert Vermaat - 10-20-2016

Unfortunately it seems that many links are now dead. I think that has happened due to several conversions?


RE: Equipment Tutorials... - Pointer - 05-06-2017

Are there any way to revive these links?
