Is an R13 that is made made today significantly different from one made in
the 50's or not? If it is significantly different it isn't an R13. Maybe
the Buffet made in the 50's wasn't an R13. They can't be different and be
the same model. Period.

Design evolution isn't a bad thing, but they should have honestly noted
their changes i.e. R13-x or R13-y. However, it appears to me that Buffet
is cynically playing the nostalgia card to the hilt.

the improvements were in vain? I don't think so.
