I have a white Zerostat from I believe around 1972 which still works. I can't tell the difference between that and the newer blue one I purchased 2 years ago. When I bought a Furutech Destat, both Miltys were shelved as the Furutech works better and more evenly (at a cost $).
Zerostat: Old is Gold?
I was recently in the market for a Zerostat gun. I looked online and saw that they had moved their production from England to China. Of course, without any reduction in price. As I try to avoid Chinese manufacture as much as I can, I thought I would buy a used one on ebay. I bid on a few auctions but was surprised to see them selling for around $50 for one in decent (but hardly new) condition. The new blue Zerostats from China are $80 and up.
Are the old Zerostats in some way superior to the newer Chinese made that would justify the (IMO) relatively high prices being realized for the original guns?
