;D ;D thank you!

well...in the late 80s the market was flooded with TROL sets that were cheaper (and much worse than ANtex). I guess that's when Antex started lowing the quality of their product to compite with the brasilian cousins.
So I guess in the middle of the 90s when economy was really bad they just went down for good.

Title: Re: antex 5300
Post by: bonniebeth on June 01, 2011, 12:56:18: You could show the quality of the how the joints fit together, whether windows and doors fit right, compare the klickys next to geobra klickys so we can see the texture, whether it's too shiny or looks normal, etc.

Just no pics of your pecs, please! :lol:
