I think Delboy has a thread open about it, I'll take a look.
I wish I still had my old President George which Hans Kucha modded and tuned. It worked like hell but was as ugly as me haha. They should bring the George back same as they did with the Lincoln.

The McKinley works very well, I'm not saying it's a 'must have' as it costs far too much but it certainly is worth considering....
Here's some action from The North East Net on the new President McKinley EU

I will agree with Delboy on this one for to much money but I seen it advertised for £190 but can not find it again I like my crt ss9900 it works for me and with a power mic, as the mic they come with is not the best, the power mic I use now is a telcom 1000 from knights it has a great modulation, will I buy a McKinley no my 9900 does all I need best 73s.
