....with the counterfeit R-1's is the finish. Legitimate R-1's have a dull finish (to the thermoplastic)....the counterfeit's are shiny.
I purchased one of those bargains a while ago (for $75) from the guy in Seattle just to see if he was selling the real thing....uhh, no. The unit was shiny. Most people wouldn't know the difference, especially since the duplex comes in a seemingly legit Oyaide box (and how were they obtained??).
Who knows what plating is used, in addition to the substrate used for the contacts....I highly doubt it's beryllium copper, which costs a lot more than brass alloy. In other words, how the hell could someone sell the real deal for $75?
