116xxx is perfect to franken and lots of parts are available. 126xxx is also, but parts are rare and crazy expensive. 126 has slim lugs. 116 has beefier lugs. Flip a coin. They’re both classics.
If you were a supporter or patron you could access a thread dealing exactly with this question and giving you all answers. A damn shame. I know which one to buy. As all supporters do. Maybe it's time to become one, too.
thanks friends
for your answers some nice others a moment more technical.
Since I don't have availability to have them all and 2, I took the liberty of ASK THE QUESTION. SHAPE, MEASUREMENTS, ENGRAVING QUALITY, ENGINE all important factors, but my attention as an (amateur-visual) is concentrated more on the magnifying lens!! on this aspect can anyone tell me if both models 116610 vsf and 126610 fsv are consistent with the original?
Thanks again for your contributions!
