Referring to eBay item 7100568184, Jeff Noakes asks:
>Does anyone have a copy of the 1978 MAFAC catalog they could check this
>auction against?
I have a copy of the catalog right next to me, and it does look like the "S" calipers. The only difference I can see is that on the "S" brakes in the catalog, the name "MAFAC" appears to be stamped onto the caliper arm, while in the eBay photo, the name "MAFAC" appears to be embossed and surrounded be a recessed area. Maybe there were such variations? Maybe the catalog drawing is sligthly inaccurate?
By the way, if you're even mildly interested in Mafac, you should get a copy of the catalog. Go to http://www.velo-retro.com. Great service!
