So I took a leap of faith and ordered this piece from Kathy057

Here are some shots of it with the fab family:
The logo was kind of an unexpected surprise for me. Turns out it was a mistake in shipping, someone had actually paid extra to have this made... They are correcting it with a small discount on a future order, which I plan on applying towards their Gordo recycler clone. But this seller is able to do sandblasted logos it seems! To be sure you don't get a logo, maybe include a comment saying "no logo"?
The piece was very very high quality, it feels thicker and sturdier than the straight fab! Welds were done well, no bubbles and none of that lumpiness I've seen on other pieces (ie, straight fab joint weld, those who have one know what I'm talking about). Joint was very straight. The function was surprisingly good I must say for what looks like a very simple perc. The perc and the small size seems to bring out a lot of taste. It's only passed by the FC-710 for taste, but this piece is like 3x the weight and thickness of the FC-710.

Anyways this sellers seems legitimate, has their own factory, showed me pictures and such. And they know a fair bit about the other sellers, CCG, Kathy0577.
