(There are several situations where what the used and what book keepers called them were very much different.) Original Delaney-Gallay parts and assemblies rarely get as far as a public sale with so many people wanting anything in any condition. About a decade ago a new old stock core for a Cobra was in an ebay® listing and the competition in that auction was truly amazing.

The heater housing was painted in a 'battleship gray' type color. Some units received a metal identification tag and some did not, both ways are Cobra correct. Years ago a company called Motorsports International sold a reproduction of the tag.
