Hello all,

I am in the possession of apparently two types of 802s. One pair stemming from the 60s and one recently acquired pair from the 70s.

They both are branded as 802s, yet there are however striking differences between the two. The 70s version is 1/4 inch smaller and no less than 0.5 kg lighter (2.5 vs 3 kg for the earleir version). Furthermore the newer ones have a smooth surface and no taper.

At first I was under the impression that the 70s versions actually are 806 or something, but those seem to be even smaller.

So what is the deal on the 802?

If there is any forum that could shed light on this matter it would be this one!

Regards, Coen

Sorry for the metric notation.
