Hi,
I've not used my old Oxford Mig 161 turbo for a few years, it needs a new torch so I figured I would convert it to a euro-torch while I'm at it.
I see lots of conversion kits on ebay, mostly made by Parker, some varying in price by quite a lot. I'm curious as to what why listings such as these two:

https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/PARKER-M...700066?hash=item36653c8922:g:nHcAAOSwWxxau6oN
Vary in price so much when they look like the same thing. It makes me suspicious that the cheaper one is a replica or something.
I am a hobbyist welder, not a professional so I'm not looking for something to use daily by any means.
