Stigma hyper question

[Baldrick]

I've been buying some different rotaries lately and came across a Stigma Hyper V2 on eBay, which arrives tomorrow.
A colleague of mine has 2 and I liked using his - but I'm concerned that the one I've bought is different to his.
It's adjustable, so it's a V2, but did they make different versions???
The top of the one hasn't got the big "hole" or the plastic screws on either side.

We're there any copies made of this machine? I tried looking for older model pics to confirm but can only find the latest ones.

Does anybody have an earlier version ?

I'll post a pic when it arrives.

The big plastic screws may have been added later as a solution for rubber band saddles. Arte from stigma checks in from time to time on here. I will see if I can dig up his email and send him the link to this thread as he would probably be able to answer your question.

That would be great, I'll get the serial number off it tomorrow to see what it is - I'm just concerned it a fake - but I haven't read about any clones

I don't thing any copies have serial numbers. If you have a serial number that looks legit it most likely is.

I hope so its only the top "cover" that looks different - all other parts look the same as the V2 pics I can find.
I'll know more tomorrow when I get to work.

I'll put some pics up too

I've searched for clones of the hyper- but didn't find anything - do you know or any? & what name there under?

I think the closest thing to copy of stigma (not the hyper) was that Salamander/Mantis thing.

Didn't the early V2's have the adjustment screw as a separate piece.. can't remember what the top part looked like though.

here the pics - just need to find out exactly what model this is
