In the Thread: Fake Vitavox S2 diaphragms on ebay

Post Subject: Fake Vitavox S2 diaphragms on ebayPosted by cv on: 6/11/2009

For all S2 fans... please be aware that seller "milesvintage2007" was claiming to have found a load of diaphragms in an old cinema (yeah, lots of those running Vitavox in Hong Kong, I'm sure...*)
Even forged the labels on the tins... He has since removed the "old cinema" claim from the description and relisted, presumably after complaints to ebay.

Whilst they may be worthy replacements, don't make the mistake of paying $500 for something misrepresented as original. He would seem to have access to plenty. The diaphragm lead out wire looks extremely fragile btw - it is a single, very thin strand of wire. Not braided (like Mike's) or a flat ribbon (like the originals).

At some point I will try them and measure the response, but as you can probably tell, I'm pissed with this fraudster.

Cheers
