Another seller in Kuwait. It sounds like these are surplus. The good news is they are using different pics!

He had that listed as new, I told him it had obviously been mounted so therefor was used so he relisted it with a lower price, he said his supplier assured him it was tested and working, with free returns it is hard to see how one can lose anything but maybe some time.
These used to pop up from time to time for $75 or less, I think TOBASH and I picked up most of them so I have a lifetime supply now.

I actually took a waiver and bought one from him. Have not tested it, but plan to soon. If it fails and I return it do you have a real one you could sell me, pretty please?

they aren’t aftermarket, not sure why people think so just because it’s sold from another country, milsurp is all over the place.
I just bought an S3 box from Kuwait…OEM and arrived in 3 days.

There is a US military NOS surplus sales thing over that way do believe. They get stuff from Hawaii. Got a friend in Philipines that got some LMTV's from Korea... least I think that is where he sourced them from. sooooo it might actually be REAL NOS stuff.

that said.... still out of my ball park... price wise.

I received the wiper motor today (ordered on April 27 and shipped on the 29th). It was delivered by US postal service. It has every appearance of being a genuine military surplus part in new condition, and it works!

I thought another wiper motor might appear for sale but that hasn't happened yet...I think some sellers use the "last one" tactic to get you to hit the buy button. Just for reference, the N3135 regulator is currently showing 2 available/6 sold. Unfortunately, I have the opposite problem at present, a 200A with an open field circuit which I haven't dug into yet.

I wouldn't consider returns on electrical parts either, given the potential of incorrect install resulting in destruction.

What makes you suspicious they are fake?
We probably have warehouses full of that stuff in S Korea
We have about 23,000 personnel there at this time.
Not to mention that "modern" M35A2 variants are still being build factory new for the Korean Army. Wouldn't surprise me at all if one of their suppliers realizes the market potential for the US military vehicle community
