It sounded like he was running out so I pulled the trigger on Junkodesu' s repros. Hopefully Junkodesu's will look appropriate.....it's gotta be better than the shagged originals I have.

I know some of you like the naked look, it's kind of cool but where these are going I think it's wise to have at least a little "protection".
Can't say about that seller, but if they're ply, they're probably gonna warp - a lot. I got some from a seller in WA and they warped. "Real" frames would be MDF and much more stable. It's certainly debatable which is tougher, but warpage sucks. I'm looking at them now on the 4310's and one is warped in, the other out. You'd think the dolt would have at least had enough sense to match them.
