I see it can have various meanings, but I also believe that some try to use it to their advantage when they know better. If parts such as alternators have been added for the generator, paint or sheet metal work anywhere, added decals (right or wrong), aftermarket parts added, it is no longer original.

Anything else is not original in my book. Now with that said, there are spetacular restorations out there, but they look 10 times better than anything that ever left the factory back then. I have seen a few true originals, they sometimes have paint runs, all kinds of things that a good restoration person would ever have or want. Also, decals run all over a general area on some of them.
