Hey Bob,
Not to ‘split hairs’…diamond block not being of thicker block metal.. say than a model A block.
Yeah, comparing a nos A block to a nos B diamond block, you statement may be dead on.
However, chances of finding nos A is improbable. A blocks are older than B blocks. Logic says that the older rusted A block will weigh less than a B block.
Taking this a step further, since diamond blocks were made after B, would they stand a better chance of their metal being even better ( heavier) condition !
Now, Ive just obtained a LATE diamond (1937). The metal in this Diamond B is beautiful shape. No faults, cracks etc.
This may be considered flimsy evidence by some. But if choice, Ill say Diamond B
Will be my first choice to check out for a build !
