I am fascinated to hear of replica Audions. Given the
amount of work to
make them, and make them well enough to fool people into spending big
bucks, the forger had to do one heckovalotta work. If you're gonna
steal from people because you're too lazy to work for a living, why make
it that hard on yourself? Do something easier and more lucrative, like
smuggling narcotic babyfood or something. <grin>
The unmarked copies were likely made with no malice, just as a way to get
more Audions for those that need them for displays, or for even operating
some of the old equipment. But, as we see, the decision to not mark them
has bitten some folks in the butt.
Luckily, I don't need any Audions. Or PDP-8 skins. Need a scope for the
LINC-8, though. I wonder how hard it would be to fabricate one of those...
