I made haikus from the messages.
Green calls it Maira
I think that it is worthy
I can take it out
It was written that
The white elk of the copy
Was too beautiful
It seems to have changed
Resistance is resistance
The price of a start
Thankyou.

The white elk of the copy of ELK does not sell at all.
Then, again!

hahahhaa yeah, the ebay sellers messages were so out there they bordered on poetic. i kept thinking "what translator could possibly do this?" because they were almost perfectly nonsensical. there were alot more too, i just posted a handful.

Apples and oranges. Those Sovteks started to look like that within a few years of manufacture because the enclosure were not properly cleaned before painting, the lack of primer used, and crappy paint used. Even before those early ones were painted, the cast metal cases were finished terribly.
Re: your Elk - that's a factory made enclosure, pressed and folded using tooling and dies, not something someone made by hand in a garage. I seriously doubt anyone spent the money to make the tooling for those sheet metal parts and the battery cover, managed to get them to come out looking identical in size and shape to the originals, managed to match the surface finish and silk screen art to the T, got a pcb board made with all the pre drilled holes in the right places (I haven't seen your trace side), found all the period correct circuit components, then neglected to age it. None of that would have been worth the expense and effort though, just to make 1 or 2 pedals.
all very good info to know, thank you kit. as mentioned, i think i just got super paranoid about the whole thing playing out the way that it did that i really just needed a few more sets of eyes on it to go "nah, looks legit." i appreciate the input.

Daniel Danger is a damn fine name, good to know ya.
I'm impressed by how quickly this thread was seen to its logical conclusion...with no one asking if you are Anthony Wiener.
This forum sure does host some straight shooters...underpinned by constant lighthearted silliness.
There's never a shortage of entertainment and knowledge to gain in sorting out gear mysteries.
I feel like watching Scooby Do.
