the funny thing is, every 2 years when this thread reappears, it's the same 8 folks debating it. who really are the customers for a re-issue copy hood at 2004 prices? e-RICHIE chester, ct

but the repro hoods are already available sans a logo from eai and other sources... e-RICHIE chester, ct

Those EAI repro. hoods are: A) sucky, and B) kinda ugly IMO. They are, I believe, gravity-cast instead of injection-molded, and have a huge mold seam / flash across the midddle of the hood. The "gum" ones don't even look gum-colored. I've stopped carrying them, as I don't feel they are a good value for their $21 selling price. The NOS Modolos are a much better product IMO (but will eventually be gone too). Greg "hoodoo" Parker Dexter, Michigan
