Repro's are junk ?
I read that the repro's are bad news and guys that have bought them are returning them P/O'd. The so-called reproductions are bare plastic base (no vinyl) and low quality with missing parts. OPGI even states, "This is a replacement console for an existing or broken console, not for converting a non-console car to a console car.".
That's what I'm trying to do. Everyone, including our sponsor (PY), is getting them from the same source, so the end results will be the same.
I have found a used one, but I can't believe the prices I'm getting to restore it, including replacing the vinyl. American Classic Restorations quoted $1,000 to $1,200 based on photos I sent them. That doesn't include the cost to purchase the old console.
I also contact Just Dashes by phone and e-mail and have yet to get a price from them.
I will take everyone's advice though, about staying away from Billions and Trillions.
Thanks,
Ron :(
