The serial number they listed in the ad has one too many numbers in it. Most likely it is #39123 simply because of the Duncan Automatic Brake.

It is a nice looking machine...for a fraction of the price. IMHO.

It is a nice looking machine. But sadly its in two parts! I saw this machine in person a long time ago!
The dealer stated they made them that way for easier moving!
Along with many other lies they also stated they sell for $1800+ but they need to sell it soon so its discounted!
I seriously dislike dishonest dealers!
Maybe everyone should email them with questions?
Just a thought!

Ahhh, I can just barely see the seams where this has been decapitated! Crappy pics, no mention of it being junk in the ad! What a dirtbag!

I'll amend my above ignorant statement to read;

"A once beautiful machine that has been segmented into a ⅔ split by some complete fool and is not worth a fractal portion :evil: of the price except for parts and admonition. IMNSHO!"

What a strange thing to have done to the machine! It would be interesting to know its back story.

You're right, Clay, it makes you wonder if someone walled off an attic room and only left a very small crawl through hatch-door or something. :?

This reminds me of that VV-XVI that has been on ebay for the past year or so that was cut down just below the horn cavity. :shock:
