DUX bases are HW bases that are mistakes in the casting process.



They generally have a little warping, but the profile is generally lower. Hense they are easier to chip with. Usually found on late 60's early 70's teams.

I've always wondered about this as well lads. I'd be interested to see an illustrated comparison between the two.

Here you go lads...

Normal Subbuteo HW base on the left. HW DUX base on the right.

I use the DUX bases for playing with if possible.
