but I've never seen/heard of the 2472 being reproduced.
Gary I appreciate your thoughts, and I too have not previously heard anything on this subject. But that doesn't mean it didn't happen.
The advice I have received is that the run of repros was commissioned in the 90's, so it's no surprise there are no vendors currently offering one, nor that there is no real info out there - this was well before the internet was in common use.
I suspect there will not be any clear resolution on this thread, and with hindsight, I probably should not have initiated it.
So I would respectfully request that none of us adds further to it with opinions or speculation, only if someone knows specifically if it did, or didn't, happen. Thanks!
