Did anyone else
see the "new" Mark-8 kit sell on eBay recently? I think it
went for $1,600.
He's been selling the boards and components for a number of
months now. I've read his listings a few times and he never comes
right out and says that he has made the parts new using the original
drawings, just that they were made from them. I wouldn't be
suprised if the buyers actually believed they were getting vintage
parts vice the 'repro' parts that they are, regardless of how well
done.
