Do people buy MAC gear for the blue meters


I have a friend of mine that owns all MAC gear but never listens to it. He says he just bought it for the glass front and blue meters. I have a feeling a lot of people are like my friend.

Most people do want their gear to look nice if possible. Not to many buy a car that is ugly, with the exception of the Volkswagen Thing. LOL. I hope I don't get any collectors angry. Link [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Volkswagen_181]

I own 501's and the blue meters are secondary to the smile tattooed on my face!
Taters, I am interested in your friends gear should he decide to sell. What units does he have?
Sit,

He is a hoarder. He never sells anything. He has so much stuff he lives in his garage.
