Hi almond

Welcome to the board - you'll love Stu's buttons - great quality. I've got 2 sets !

Don't worry about the serial number - it's normal around here; mines "30103154". I've even attached a piccy (that's the normal way since it's secure - but you can just give the number - they're encoded to spot 'made up' ones)

We're a very friendly bunch (honest) but we are cautious.

Not many empegs get sold without a sled or remote - but because the unit slides out it is easy to steal without the sled.

And if you've been the victim of a crime we'd really like to help you - I'm sure you don't want a stolen player and I know you'd be grateful if someone stole your system and some simple common sense behaviour on a BBS helped you get it back

Please don't take offense and understand that we're just getting to know you.

Cheers
