Sold just about 3 minutes ago!

Did anyone here get it? I had to strip black latex paint off of a VV-XI recently and I have some DO's and DONT's advice for that process!

Completely agreed Harvey; If I was anywhere near NY, I would have grabbed it up...

Why? Perhaps just a custom model from the factory for the Soviet market? Hopefully that red paint will not have soaked into the pores of the wood and can be completely reversed. Heck for $40 how can you anyone go wrong!
