I bought this for $300 in an Ebay auction in 1999 and had it shipped over by surface mail
as it weighs a lot with the case and the legs.
It took about 7 weeks to get to London from Charleston, West Virginia !
With the duty & everything it finally cost me £272.
The serial number is 10646, which doesn't tell you much in this case. I think its late sixties.
Its tuned to C6th
