Pics were sent Creighton.
I'm not bashing anyone's hard work by any means, but I do have a huge problem with someone trying to pass something off as something it is in deed not. I asked the guy if it was indeed an original RC machine and he said yes with a professional restoration and had pictures to prove its authenticity which were the same ones on eBay. Anyhow, I'm not upset and totally agree with you on your view of bashing, but if someone had been saving that kind of money to be ripped off is sickening... I only took the pics to keep everyone informed, if it wasn't for this site I would've just walked on by not knowing it was fake or not. Years ago if I came across this, I would've assumed it was original. Anyhow, just putting my .02 out there.

Hey CFlatt I'm not saying you're bashing anybody .
I Just can believe this has come up again that's all.
You know if you buy a machine from whomever and you're
Happy that's all that should count.
Thanks Dave we will have to wait and see.

Fraud is fraud the truth is intentionally fabricated .
And the hobby hopefully keeps getting new members, so a lot of what we call old news isn't to them. The first time I heard of the OC machine and the Cowboy was here. I will continue to share whatever knowledge I have to the new onwa to keep the hobby going

I think the registered trademark is there it just isn't painted... I down loaded the image and enlarged it... though its resolution is low there looks
to be something beside the N in CROWN... the paint job, by hand, isn't the best but someone tried.
Is this particular machine known/thought to be altered?
As far as where the fakes are coming from.. someone, had made a die and has stamped out the embossed panels... these panels have shown up
over the years on ebay and sell. I'm not sure about 7up panels but I have seen 2 RC panels on ebay in the past years. All you need then is a VMC
machine and a welder... It's a shame.
