been looking for a nice example for a while now and cant find any in any condition , are they hens teeth?
I haven't seen one of those for quite a while now. What little I do see are the Romy Bayonets w/frogs
i actually picked a Romy bayo up for like $12 bucks , i see Russian AK bayos for upwards to $200 , Atlantic had the black Chinese like the one on my 86S but are sold out , but the orange bakelite are not to be found

Yeah, they were pretty coveted 10-15 years ago already so I imagine they are going to be a hard find. Can you say "needle in a haystack"? rofl rofl
Are you referring to these?

They have seemed to fall off in availability in the past 10 years, or so. I'd sure like to find a set of Chinese furniture, hint, hint. :P Yeah, I realize I'd have to kick in a fair amount on my end, too. thumb1
(Also available in black...)

Cool, that was quick...
How much did you end up having to shell out for the orange one? I think you said that you already had a black one for your 86S? Just curious what they're worth nowadays.
If you ever run across that other set of Chinese furniture, let me know. I was high bidder for a while on the set you posted on Gunbroker. I messed up and didn't recheck it before the auction ended and somebody else swooped in and picked it. :-[ If the Buyer doesn't follow through on his bid, let me know and I'll give you what he was supposed to.
