As many have said, condition is everything and this one looks like it was in a literal fire sale.

I wouldn't want it if someone gave it to me...

Re: Here's a rare "bargain"...
I agree the horn is amazing. And part of the reason why they want so much for a Standard D in less than stellar cosmetic condition. That thing looks like it’s screaming for a new bearing! And I wonder how long the record has been on the mandrel. My model E Standard still has marks from the record being stuck on for so long.JerryVan wrote: Sun Jan 31, 2021 9:22 amPrice is crazy, but that horn is in stunning condition!
