    I'm wondering if there is such thing as a Yellow Cone and Yellow T-Joint Yonex Carbonex 8, i have one which im starting to think is a "copy"
    because the only ones i've seen are the ones with blue and red tjoints/cones, im looking to replace the strings aswell, what strings should i use? :cool:

    i've also got a yonex aerotus80 sp <-any info on that one? :confused:

    You mean like this one?

    That was taken from the Yonex site so chances are, you're fine. You may want to get Leeshim to verify the serial numbers though, just to give yourself piece of mind.

    The Aerotus was an awesome racket series from Yonex. Again, it's been discontinued but there's probably still some info on the Yonex website. I must commend you on two excellent racket choices and I hope I've helped a little bit.

    Yonex did produce Yellow cone and T-joint Cab 8 back in early 80's. In fact, there are Blue, Green, Red and Yellow.

    Hope this help.

    i told her if she find it (somewhere in there house) i buy it off her .

    i still have a green cab 8 from the 80s and it in mint shape .

    my other friend gave me his blue cab 8 sp (thin shaft ? from late 80s ) also in mint shape

    i love cab 8 rackets

    Yes. Can you show a picture?

    It would be one of the very early ones from the early 80's

    Another early colour is orange.
