Title: Look what this dope is trying to pass off as authentic

Scroll down and check out the handle on this machine. And the BEST part is how he talked it up as if its better then the original translucent handle. Probably bought the black ones from Happ and slopped some "OFFICIAL TRON BLUE" paint on it. ::) ::) :P. Why not just be truthfull and say "This is not the original handle but has been painted to resemble the original but you can find the the original handles quite frequently on Ebay if you wish to do so" I guess this guy is betting that arcade collectors are stupid suckers. Ah well.. I guess its not that big a deal. I'm just venting cause I'm jealous of the rest of the machine. :'(
