Hi Gadge,
That's a fair call I'd say. I did the maths a couple of years ago and with the costs of Electroplating nowadays it's just too cost prohibitive to make any money and make it a faithfull reproduction, but I will say that most people don't give a hoot if it's factory perfect, they just want one to cut lawn with I guess and don't get all tied up in the history aspect like DeeJay and I do.
Cheers,
BB
