Well, these cabinets are for restoration community tomuse as, as far as I remember the prices of Steve's cabinets they are more expensive than originals so whever is out to commit this kind of "fraud" will incur losses rather than gains.
Then again, even though the word "reproduction" is neutral, it does have some "not true, cheap" connotation to it and this is why I have touble using it towards something like this which is in both quality and detail probably better than original, as any decent custom job typically (not without exceptions, but typically) exceeds a mass-produced merchandize, and whether we lime it or not, these radios were, after all, exactly that - a mass-produced merchandize.
If someone sold me this cabinet for a price of an original...I would not ak for my money back.
