Buy this upper outdrive I got hosed on from me.
 

Bought this from an OSO member. Stupid me bought it sight unseen. He told me he had an Alpha 1 SS upper from a 20 ft Cig. This is what I got n the mail. Now he claims it was from a 1983 233 Formula. He also says he didn't know there was a difference. Since he is on here a lot and always has lots of Speedmaster/ TRS drives and parts for sale, I thought he would know how to identify what he has and know the difference. Will consider any offer made on this gem.[ATTACH=CONFIG]520003[/ATTACH][ATTACH=CONFIG]520004[/ATTACH]

Don't know anything about it, and I wouldn't trust any of the story that came with it. Would be good for a bed of a pickup to provide additional weight for traction in the snow, or maybe a good centerpiece for your wifes 1970's nautically themed garden

Wow, sorry to hear you had an issue. That is definitely a Pre-Alpha designation upper. MR I believe. Why is this person not refunding you?

When I talked to him last, he offered a partial refund and I would have to eat the shipping both ways (originalshipping + return). My fault I've been swamped with the new model boat we just debuted and the prototype we're working on and the last time we talked was almost 2 months ago. At this point I don't want to be that guy trying to return something I bought 3 months ago.

Yep, MR-1.

Actually not even MR, it's an R drive. Worth more as scrap aluminum than anything else.

Was the seller an actual meber of OSO or just a registered guest?

How is this your fault spaz?
It was misrepresented. Get your money back, shipping included. Sound to me like he should just refund the money and you throw the thing out in the trash.

Correct. R drive. Around a long, long time, lots out there still. 70s into early 80s. MR was the first square top with no lifting ring, then Alpha.

Misrepresented = refund. In this case the time elapsed is irrelevant.
I would direct the seller to this thread to "encourage" him to do the right thing.

Seller should make this right. That isn't even a nice anchor weight. Not what you wanted, and is misrepresented.
