Just bought these on HF. Wondering if anyone has any experience with these. They are the darker wood (obviously) and have no serial #. Also, these look to be pretty glossy..think they were refinished or something?

not off the top of my head, weird i never thought of it before.

have you searched hf for past topics on this?

I have. I've been doing a lot of searching..haven't been able to find much info at all.

Found out the glossy look is from a light coat of Varathane applied by a previous owner.

i have seen many different shades of rs-2's. i think at the last Michigan meet we had three sets of rs-2s all in one pic and all three different shades. i never heard of vintage rs-2's in a different sound signature like the rs-1s have though.

Think I found the picture.

yelp. i think mine are the rs-2's in the middle..also the gs1000's i think. i forgot.
