i just sold super franken 112 (gen crystal, dial, hands, movement, case, tube, crown and CG). Gen 112 is way to much expensive for what it is. now is there a reason to spend 2k for 112 that is not kosher? i dont think so! you can buy used gen 112 for 3k! so what is the point then?
its just not smart investment. 127, or 217 is different story. vintage pams with sf240 are something too but 177 or 111 i really don't think is worth of money and hustle. the old days are gone and parts are insane expensive today if you can find them in a first place. game changed a lot
