Default Real Greddy Type RS

Can someone give me things to look for to make sure I'm receiving a real Greddy Type RS. I saw it here before; but I could not locate the thread.

Thanks

Default Pretty easy to figure out....>

Anything less than $150 is fake. Looks like 90% of the Ebay stuff is bogus..

Look fior "real" rather than "style"....

Default plus, you should be able to tell from a pic of the box itself. most fakes won't show you

a box pic...i bought one off of eBay for less than $140 and it was the real deal.

i have some of the regular adapters and flanges if you're interested.

Mine seems to be real as well. I noticed the knock offs don't have the greddy embossed in the side

Default None of the knockoffs I have seen have the Greddy embossed on the side (as you mentioned). Also,

last I checked, the real Greddy is ONLY available with a blue trumpet - if it is another color, it is a fake. If you can disassemble, the knockoffs are only skin deep copies - their internals are totally different from the real thing.
