+1 , Especially sellers Dalbani, Semitronus and ceitron, pretty much all counterfeit stuff. I stick to the old RCA SK, GE and ECG lines - all of them came before the Chinese dumpex of fakes eBay is so littered with.

In the 90s, Dalbani was a go-to, but in the early 2000s, they suddenly had every video jungle chip out there, all remarked counterfeits.

38+ years in the biz, and I can see a fake a mile away.
