I don't believe what I have read. Mr. Whalen has created counterfiet chips and now he will be allowed to continue to do so by adding his initial to the chips to make them acceptable. What kind of hobby is this anyway. This guy should be banished immediately for such action. Repair my ass. This is counterfeiting, highly punishable, or have we forgotten. He has clearly done this with a clear thinking mind and now he is to have carte blanche to continue. Sure makes one want to go out and buy brass cores, that is, if you can trust one in the future.
