They were the real deal. I'm pretty sure he sourced them from the original company that made them for Altec, spent a small fortune doing it as there was a minimum order of like 500 pieces. They looked right as rain in person, some of the 19 networks i got from him had new knobs and some had old, you couldn't tell which were which unless there was dirt or smudges on the old ones.
Is that the company out of the Chicago area? Davies Modling? Dakaware..... I think is the marketing/brand name.
