I've been reading some recent posts on here about certain Dumbles, who owns them, who originally owned them and such for quite some time now. It's interesting, so I started poking around in Internet land. There's a listing out there of who owns what (by #), and so on. I personally know of someone who owns 3 Dumbles, 2 of which he purchased in the late 70's, and is the original owner, and has the documentation to prove it.

Point being, 2 of his 3 Dumbles are on the list as being currently owned by other individuals, complete with incorrect pictures.

How does this happen?

Hey Tim!

Can you post that list? Or a link to it?

You can find links to it at Wikipedia

I can't find it. Please would you post a link.

Cheers,

It seems to me that the expense in locating 'period-correct' components in the correct values is going to make an accurate counterfeit an expensive project.
