Not sure RE rules about posting links to / information from "the other" forum... have folks taken a gander at the new 1960 burst unveiled over there...?

Short story (classic!) => son and grandson discover burst under the bed of recently departed.

Surely this is one of the last “under the bed” finds out there...

Still, a boy can dream.

Very cool, looks legit. Just needs to be checked out and authenticated, not hard to do.

If real, why rush to sell?--maybe the owner would just like to keep it and enjoy the wonderful, unexpected, legacy. Whole different thing to discover something like that from your own Grandad, than find something like that at a flea market--at least, I think so...

Yes, it would be cool if the one or the other relative kept it, learned to play, and handed it down. :salude

Looks like he's going to get "market" for it. I bid what I thought was very fair, but didn't make the cut.

Do they tell the serial number?

Looks like 0-7400+ , maybe even 0-8000 series. :hmm
