The original 3000's were reported to be Oliva X series that had to be un-banded and sold anon to settle a lawsuit from AF against Oliva for the use of "X".

HOWEVER, this was never confirmed (or denied). To date, as far as I know, there has never been any official acknowledgment as to the origins of the Famous Nic 3000's.

All I know is that they need 6 months rest to be great. They are good out of the bundle (or have been). Never having had an original Oliva X to compare to my original 3000's, I cannot make a judgment call on Oliva being the blender. It has been a source of continued speculation, which I'm sure Famous loves, because it keeps them at the top of the heap!

Just to clarify a bit, Cliff. The lawsuit was against EO Brands. The folks that do the 601's and Cubao. Oliva made the Series X for them.
