Is the real ithaka the same thickness of metal and same weight as the clone?
the wall thickness on the clone is thinner but weight might be pretty darn close. i have a scale i can weigh them both on and report back.

I expect they are one and the same.
Rainbow positive post, I just spent about half an hour trying to get it centered in the ceramic housing, a tiny nylon sleeve where it passes under the nylon nut that secures the negative wire should help.
Soon I will have five Ithakas ( real and not real), three Terms, 3 MKB-TS' but I do believe that I defected yesterday, see below
So my one question is... Does the Hercules have that same glued on 510 connection on the base like the terminator? Went through a couple of those because it just snapped off whenever I dropped my term-c onto a hard floor =/
hmm, the 510 base seems like one machined seamless part, nothing seems glued or press-fit. maybe im wrong tho.

You have it correct, or I thought, still can't imagine more than one piece to it.
What version is that Term base from, here is a picture of one of my v1's
I'm curious how they are deemed junk as there is next to zero info on the Tobeco Ithaka clone. From what I have seen they are a closer match to the real GG one. I have one coming from FastTech so I can do a comparision. The problem is though rumor has it that they are not made by Rainbow or Tobeco, I shall see soon enough and will post it.
Yeah I too have a Tobeco Ithaka on the way in an Aussie coop, not sure why they are being judged as Junk with no one having one in their hands yet.
the superiority battle of my cheap clone is infinately better than you your cheap clone may have to wait
All the images and info so far seem very positive.
I wouldn't trust a tobeco ithaka clone but you never know, maybe they learned from their mistakes with the ody clone.
I only paid 35 for my rainbow heaven ithaka clone and its great quality.
