Title: Re: How's your luck??
Post by: oldschoolace on March 16, 2015, 11:44 AM: My initial thoughts were they are probably Hattie Jacques, and at potentially 4k a set it would be well worth someone's time. :-\

There's no way anybody's gonna knock up a set and sell them for $275 b.i.n

I've had a few sets in pieces over the years and they're far too complicated in their manufacture to repro them for anywhere near that price and make a profit.

Post by: AKGOFF on March 17, 2015, 05:28 PM: I know a 'NOS' set of black Gen 1 SSTs without the packaging went to OZ for $10K last year. Holy grail hubs without a doubt.

Post by: Waxintaxin on March 17, 2015, 10:06 PM: I don't think they are fakes lol

I was explaining the term hattie jakes , which is a rhythm of the cockney for fakes

I agree they are pretty hard to fake

Post by: factory pilot on March 24, 2015, 08:21 AM: They look far to complex to fake ....
And people pay thousands for them ? :crazy2:
I'm more excited by a re-issue unitron to be fair ...
I don't think I'd ever get that excited by a pair of hubs .. However rare they maybe ? Thumbs down
