Haven't we seen this one before?

This thing has loads of patched holes, and the control area has a football shaped plug.  Was this on ebay a while ago?  A nice effort.
Model One and Schallers?  Ish.

Yes, it came up on pages 2 and 3 of this thread: http://bassoutpost.com/index.php?topic=2778.0

Quoting myself: I wouldn't touch it at any price. Bogus serial number and all sorts of other issues. I wouldn't believe it's a legit '56 without a long verifiable paper trail.

Such a shame...  :sad:
The random mind of a Silver Surfer...
If research was easy, it wouldn't need doing...
Staring at that event horizon is a dirty job, but someone has to do it; something's going to come back out of it one day...
