Why have 2 when you can have 3? ...and then 4? etc. etc. A friend of mine says he has an old, bone stock 2k3 autococker that he'd part with for a few bucks. Ask about condition and he said "it worked back then", mighta leaked a little and hasn't seen air in well over 10 years.
My question pertains to that 2k3, as well as any old school cocker. Without going TOO far into detail (if that's possible) are there any real markers to avoid? I like interchangeability. I don't mind replacing parts, but I don't want one off proprietary stuff. I see TONS of markers on ebay/CL for well under $400, and deals to be found for under $200 if you look. Just curious what you guys think.
