Re: Ebay; COLUMBIA "EAGLE"
I looks like a nice machine. Thank you for being honest about the description and noting the flaws, especially the horn.

Re: Ebay; COLUMBIA "EAGLE"
Stephen,
Was the horn "soldered" as opposed to welded? If so, was normal lead (50/50 or 60/40) solder used? If so, the horn can be cleaned up by buffing the overflow of solder off the horn. Since lead is softer than brass, it will buff off with a little work and look good... On the other hand, if it was brazed with silver solder, it might be more of a job...

As the horn came with the machine this way to me, I cannot say whether or not it was welded or soldered.
Thanks for your interest! Stephen
