If anyone is interested!

Also, if anyone could take the time to describe what could potentially be wrong, then I would greatly appreciate it. (Educational purposes for me)

It doesn't appear to have any potential problems... it's a beautiful machine. The M is one of my favorites, along with a humpback II.

I agree with Curt. It looks very nice. The wood horn is later than the machine but it would be a logical upgrade for an owner that wanted to make his machine more current. When new, the M would have had a black and brass horn. Jerry

This is a later model; earlier models have a "frontmount" horn configuration. This Monarch is born with a "rearmount" horn cofiguration. Seems to be a good deal.

It's been refinished, if that bothers anyone. :|
