So how can you tell if it really is a yank? Is there a number on it?

Ask him to take a pic and send it to you, then post it up here to see if it looks right. Here is a pic of mine going in when it was brand new.

sorry I don't have a better shot of it, but hey you get what you paid for.

I wouldn't trust a used converter. Specially if its not the color its suppose to be.
1. Its not a yank
or
2. Its been rebuilt by god knows who.

I would recommend going with a new one. Yank, Vig, fuddle, and circle-d all have a very good rep. Cant go wrong with any of those imo.

FTI converters are black. Here's a picture of mine to compare although I wouldn't really trust the guy. If he says it's a Yank and it's not red he probably doesn't know what he's talking about(or it was painted/rebuilt, or he's lying).

Thought FTI were purple?

I bought my yank used and it's been a great piece. Def red though and has a yank sticker on it. Also came in the original box.
