They dont exist.
The s/n also suggests a manufacturing date prior to when the production started moving to Taiwan in late 1986. |

| The newest TW-1 I've seen was made around 86-87. With a serial starting with 4 this one is made much earlier and I'm sure a close-up of the serial number sticker would say Made in Japan. The bottom plate must belong to a different pedal. |

Maybe he thinks the "T" in T Wah stands for Taiwan. Hahahaha.
"You are bidding on a Taiwan Wah Pedal TW-1." |

he never shows a direct picture of it (or the top?)
there a picture of every possible view from the side though  |

Personally I thought the title of the auction was funny, BOSS TW-1 (#426500) VINTAGE T-WAH PEDAL OOPS! as I thought 'OOPS' pretty much meant 'Oh sh!t' in any language, but maybe its means something in....what language is it? It looks sort of like German, but if someone could please let my ignorant-American-unilingual-ass know, it would be apprectated. I know OOP means Out Of Print or Production, but I've never seen OOPS. Thanks!

| The link is to the Swedish Ebay site but the item can be found on the US site too. It says that the seller is registered in the US but it also says that the item's location is Japan. |

| Maybe it's my TW-1 that my friend is selling.. better call him.. But that means that another pedal that is Taiwan has a Japan label and this guy is selling, maybe, a ac-2 black label mij.. 10000 �.. this dude rocks, I wonder if he cheats someone. |
