    Parents new Rainbow

    Well my parents got talked into a new Rainbow. Honestly didn't know they had a new one since the blue e2   They seem to love it. My dad was hard to convince but likes the filtering with water.     How are these? They said the monthly payment plan is pretty astounding.

    1942 zenith and other radio projects.
