I discovered a semi-permanent and nondestructive way to do this around the begining of this year. The US Talk n Action James is pretty rare and it would be very easy to flood the market with undetectable fakes using parts from a Percy and a James shell. In the interest of both preserving "authentic" US Jameses for serious collectors and preventing people from "getting rich quick" at the expense of others who are none the wiser, I personally do not think this is a conversion which should be done, and will not be sharing how to do it
Just know it can be done, and please be wary of US James from this point forward. I don't know if anyone else knows the way to make it "permanent," and there's no way to know without opening your US James up and knowing what the conversion looks like. Unfortunately, this creates a catch 22 situation where when people know how to spot fakes then people also know how to create undetectable ones.

I have a website where I have been writing about and photographing many of the sets and pieces that I find interesting.
