LXIX:
this is the whole point you cant be safe to buy a set of hutch cranks now,or bottemas or a quad that is the whole point in why it is wrong,im not saying johhny c doestnt mark them im onabout 12 months down the line when you spend your hard earned cash on somthing advertised as real is a FAKE :tickedoff:

ORB:
Copying was more than common in the 80's

LXIX:
it may have been but you paid less money in the shops for the parts, there was no ebay then

ORB:
and the point there is?

Waxintaxin:
It happens in all collectible hobbys , part of the atttraction for a lot of new collectors is the instant availibility of repops ( i just love that word)

I mean imagine trying to build a old VW without using reproduction parts

So the Issue is that without specialist knowledge you may get done over buying repops, the same unfortunetly in all walks of life . Diamonds , car parts etc etc

If someone is goiing to pay 1000s for welded bits of metal,some one who can weld is eventually going to repop it

so the only constructive way to assist is to compile the differences and give heads up if you spot them

JC stuff is easy to tell the diff its a repop not a counterfiet
