It's not just me; lots of folks have made the change. And with all due respect to Dale, the model airplane stuff isn't so cheesy that I'll spend an extra $380 for the official stuff.

Of course, lots of Miraphones from the 70's had the early ball-and-socket linkages that in my view aren't as good as S-linkages and are not even on the same planet with that cheesy model-airplane stuff.

I've attached a picture of my 1977 186-4U BBb Miraphone next to the York Master (it shows the linkages more clearly than the other pic). If there is interest, I'll take a close-up of the linkages and post those on a web page. But from this distance, the linkages don't look cheesy to me.
