Title: |
RSSX 8345 |
Description: |
This RSSX 8345 is a bit different from the other RSSX 8345's on this site. So not sure if this is a rebuild of the original, or a rebuild of another unit.......and this was one of the few times I did not have my camera with me, but a friend had his cell phone, and finally sent it to me today. |
