Following on from "YATS", do we need "YAD"? There are an incredible number of Dyna-comp clones!

Hi mictester,

Think that the images belong to an old unit made in Brazil in an ancient time, when the expenses to import a real Dynacomp from USA were very high.

From time to time this repeats again in several countries and is the opportunity to some builders to make clones locally (in that particular country), of the most sought after units.

What is not logical to me is the reason for which these same clones being built "boutiquery" (if it`s a valid word...) in many parts of the world, instead to trying something different.

I agree with you that there are already too many brand new Dynacomps clones out there... :lol:

Cheers,
Jose
