    In mine the capacitor comes covered with the black thermoretractable tape, also I think the back binder has the hole trrough the whole binder like the front one. the tensioner is not from that machine and the engraving looks so horrible , but all those things can just be different from one year to another.

    Thanks for the replies. He has the original vise. It is identical to the other. He put the needle tensioner.

    Also, back binder does have hole all the way through on both. So just the capaciter tape looks wrong? Im no expert on these. but the seam to be quality aside from being a litter "used'

    I haven't purchased and probably wont. But maybe the pictures aren't the best. They are definitely cast. And the coils on both machines appear to be the same. Capacitors and soldering are the same but one 8 wrap the other is 10.

    the best way to find out is probably to just call micky shapz company and see if the numbers and shit are right, they'd be able to tell you lil things about the machine that make them authentic.
