[ksg]

Opinions on this one would be appreciated. The nedle is marked L 56 on the back.

Idon't like it-especially the pin is some thing I've never seen on a Schinkel EK1.....but very often at fakes(with different maker marks)

Thanks for your reply Micha !

I don't?t like the needle myself. There is some discoloration (difficult to see in the picture) around the hinge and the pigtail. Could it have been replaced?

Hello

I don't like this one. I know that Schinkel EK1s don't come along every day, but save your money for one that is right.

the numerals on this one bother me a bit.

anyone else think so?

Does not appear to be the drooping arms type fake - and the catch reminds me of a Floch...looks like a little 'divit' strike on the top there. Pin is also not right - anyone got a good shot of an L/56 pin to compare it with? Even still - I would back away and not think twice...

I must say I don't like it either.

Thanks for your opinion on this one!
