Congratulations! I like that one very much, especially for that price!! And I guess you can make it more original quite easily.

...Nice one

My offer for it was $75 short of what you got it for.
...When I went to submit another offer I got an email that said it was sold! :sad:

Enjoy it!~


I was going to give it the "Entwistle treatment" and have it painted red like the one he used in 1971 & 72.
