Title: NIB 9/0
Post by: CooldadE on June 17, 2019, 10:56:17 AM
I have a chance to pick up  Chinese NIB 9/0 for $60... I have a USA 9/0 now. My question, should I grab it at this price for parts?

Cool

It's well worth the price. The main difference between them is the L2 has 5 screw hole plates & the L has 8 screw hole plates. Why break it down? Keep it as a spare if you have problems with the other one. NIB will not be worth less only more.           Rudy

BUY IT! ...but like Rudy said, don't part it out. I'd keep her whole.
Steal of a deal,

The only other real difference from the older 9/0 that isn't just cosmetic is that the 98 sleeve is the double cut tip and the handle hole is shaped differently to fit it.

I'd keep it whole, as well.
