Repro Ramp Struts

[itfciain]

Hi all

I sold these last week #

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=130746955705&ssPageName=ADME:X:AAQ:GB:1123

and the guy has come back to me with the following -

Hi, got the struts ok but they are not both original, 1 is clearly a repo and has different molding marks and is a different blue altogether..Dont mind paying £13 for good original stuff but not for a repo which is of no use to me..

I got these from a chap that sold me his chldhood collection so I had no reason to think that anything was repro - I am looking at the picture and can't see much difference between the two - does anyone know much about repro ramp struts and have any pictures of them ?

Cheers
Iain

one of the struts could be off a mid 90's falcon maybe

They made repro struts a few years back. I have not seen any in years. From what I remember it was a UK based website that had the repro struts and ball and arm. Not sure if yours is one of them.

You don't have a picture of any do you Todd ?

I have to thread carefully as I don't want to get a Neg but not sure that these are repros to be honest - have offered him a full refund on their return so will have to look them over when they come back

No picture and I can not remember the sites name. They also made repro at-st top guns. Mold numbers mean nothing (#1 & #2 mold)and the color varied on production runs from Kenner..............so he could be smoking crack.

Always dissapointing to hear about new repros

It is, but these are old.
