Fake1969's


Honestly what do people expect buying cheap Chinese junk on Ali or DH Gate or Ebunk? 1969's are abundant used in many old radios that are now being found in junk piles everywhere. Find a few and start harvesting and testing. Lets stop making scumbags in China rich by buying their fake junk. If the deal seems too good to be true it most likely is.
If youre dumb enough to believe youre buying the real deal from these ripoffs I have some beach front properties and a bridge for sale, feel free to pm me for prices.
 
The ones mentioned are like the fake toshibas, theyre made to be look alikes to try and fool folks into believing they are the real deal for 1990's prices. Hg will be branded hg and youll know they will work with some tweaking maybe but are inferior compared to the originals.
I trust mouser for real parts and sometimes rf parts. Never dh gate, ali or ebunk.

Couldn’t have gotten it from a better source though, not too many people out there trustworthy enough to make a video and warn people of it.
