Both the SF No Jives and the BC ones went through phases, so it’s a tricky question. But the model definitely hit its stride in the early/mid-80’s and after the move to the east coast it changed subtly. The SF gaps are better imo (at least I’m classic mode) and I agree the wood feels better. The outer hub on BCs flattens out a little lower which gives them a rounder more bulbous feel. I don’t feel that one is really better than the other in terms of butterfly/“camel” mode. Laser etching is typically deeper on the earlier models. That said I’ve done most of my best No Jive throwing on BC era stuff because it was easy to come by. And you get some from Brad’s time (the unfinished “Chuck Short” model stands out) which really do play phenomenally. Also remember that regardless of where it came from the axle sleeve can make or break a No Jive. 🙂 ---

Yep, it’s also one of the four response holes. The knot hole is only on one side of the original Irving . That is why the 2019 Irving also has that little hole, a homage to the original. ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/yoyoexpert1/original/4X/7/d/d/7dd4e1981227366f7180fdde2fed5bfdaf7e427f.jpeg) ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/yoyoexpert1/original/4X/2/4/a/24a3b458c91a37dc246c1a428ae21422863f43a3.jpeg) ---

That, my friend is an absolutely gorgeous, and, I think by base color, long lived espresso machine! I do believe there is something about manually pulling your shot that is attractive to those of us who enjoy a yoyo without a bearing That fakie regen is likely to keep me busy for some time.

You’re welcome! I always find something new when looking at the Bandalores account… I’ve landed a couple of the regens and the feel from doing so is that zen we all want. Sooo fun! I searched for a while before finding this color machine. I think it’s from the mid 80s, it definitely looks the part. It can be hard to dial in, but is worth it when you get that great shot! – Those other Spectra colors make me want more sooooo bad. Dangit! ---
