[QUOTE="Guest, post: 532808"] Really worthwhile subject. Does anyone know if there are fake Gold Monsters around. I drove 2 hrs to look at one in a Cashies, for $699, gut feeling it should have been more uniform in the clippy things that held the cord to the shaft. The clips were not exactly the same. The oval coil seemed very plasticky, not same as my X terra 705 coils. So light as well. Having never seen one before I walked. I can't afford to lose that amount of money. They said they don't give out serial numbers because dodgies can then say it's theirs & was stolen. If someone could post a pic of the coil from a few angles that would be great.
