If by "refurbed" you mean "sat in my shed for 20 years with about 10 other flight rings" ..... then yes  :LolLolLolLol:

I gave them a good wipe before I took this photo. Thats gotta be the first time they have ever even been cleaned!

Non-lip: Main body = 5.4mm       Teeth = 3.5mm

twin-lip: Main body = 5.0mm       Teeth = 2.35mm

To my eye those are substantially different, and too much to be an acceptable manufacturing tolerance difference. Just which is older

JT71:
I think the machined one, that's also the thinner one is later as the material was stronger making thinner possible

or that the thicker one is later and truely midschool made like that to deal with the hard use the stuff got in the 90s.

lots of help eh?

SaMAlex:
Here's a bit more info

Jaymz:
old frame geometry vs newer frame geometry maybe, could explain the teeth being offset. or are they made specifically to go with a certain era of flight cranks,
