Yeah I've been running clones for years, they might take a lil messing around But I've never met one i couldn't get working. I like the Sha with the tuning screw, better than a real one.
Sometimes you'll end up with something that's just totally wacko garbage but I have aliexpress sellers that I know send out a consistent product and I continue to buy them.
I hear people say 'drill out the sha', I used to do it but it's way more work to get that running good than reworking a clone.
