I finally tracked down a replacement English Red Tip SuperSpeed for a reasonable price ... very difficult to do indeed.
As pics show, it needs the TTO painted (I have a pre-mixed colour ready) .. and other than a tiny bit of plate loss underneath, all other plating is in great condition.
I know these Red Tips come in 3 flavours: the USA superspeed at 0.66mm blade gap ... the English superspeed at 0.81mm ... and the lesser found Red Tip Rocket that is apparently the same blade gap as the English superspeed, but nowhere near as smooth and comfortable.
Anybody here got all three, and care to give an opinion on how they rate??
I shall be giving the English and USA SS versions a side-by-side try out on the weekend to compare.
