There are no clones for CoolSat6100.
Only the 4000 / 5000 / 6000 have been cloned.*
Sellers with 100% positive feedback don't sell clones.
They also state that they don't sell clones & offer full factory warranty.
It pays to shop around...because he paid under $100.

* Maybe they cloned some CS7000 & CS8000...because the replacement models are CS7100 & CS8100.
Same as the CS6000 was replaced by CS6100.
