redline padsets can you buy repops?
kowalski:
hi all, im wondering if the early to mid eighties redline padsets have been repro'd ? i assume certain other makes have been ie skyway, hutch etc, there seem to a lot about, as are a lot of sticker sets, a particular set that myself and a few others want are fetching silly money on satanbay, they are obviously rare but someone must be re doing them surely? ;)
ron burgundy:
A guy in the States was knocking sets out about 4 year ago... you'll be very lucky to find any at all now, Redline are very good at killing off any repo gear to protect the copy right...
I would also be very sceptical about any 80s nylon Redline padsets that pop up as NOS or very good condition....
GREMLIN:
I was thinking the same about the supposedly nos pad set on the f&f currently on the bay. They look a bit tatty and loose for a better word. Also it's the 1st set i've seen that has the Redline font split between the blk/gry on the pad. Usually it's soley in the black part. I may be wrong and will be stood corrected... ??? G.
kowalski:
mm exactly what i was thinking mr g, its hard enough getting a set but then not knowing if they are cheap knock offs too, especially when they are going for the sort of money they can fetch!! >:(
