Don't count on SJEP inside.

😀

[WBS]

Nope. Which makes it something other than an F8.

 

[ranshdow]

It's an FU.

 

[6L6]

^^awesome

As said before, chinese will unscrupolously copy anything worth copying.

 

[carsten.witt]

Sorry, but what means FU @ranshdow ?

Any of those originals still in production ?

Guessing the "U" is "you." Maybe an English language thing.

Of course there's still a version of the MC275 in production.

The F8.

 

[EUVL]

F8 discontinued.

Oh. Shows what I know! 😆

 

[adason]

J2 and F8 just went out of production.
But that does not automatically mean free to profit from copying.

 

[indra1]

Only fakes, not many SJEPs left to make a decent copy.

 

[labjr]

Those sellers are using S-GYPs. 😂

And I thought it was U for "up" 😆

S-GYP?

You lost me there 🤔

 

[Aleph5]

Up works better and makes more sense.

SJEP is the original part. S - JEP ... I think it is a play on the term like this. We don't usually say all the letters for J-F-E-T. We say "J" "Fet".

Gyp is an English word meaning to cheat or swindle.

JEP sounds close to GYP.

 

[WBS]

Up works better and makes more sense.

Except that the other meaning better reflects what they are doing to you if you’re dumb enough to buy one from them. Not you personally of course. 🙂

Missed that one, but sort of guessed it then ;-)
I have the SJEP's.... all I need is time to finish yet another project - and that won't be until after the XA252, which is also in a line up

Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery, but violating IPR is just never acceptable.
