very old/rough Alexander 163 BBb (ebay/Southbridge, Mass.)

[arpthark]

Looks a bit crunchy in spots. Lots of patches and the bell rim looks like it's disintegrating. This music store is somewhat local to me (about 50 minutes away) and they occasionally have interesting, if slightly overpriced, stuff. I'd bet they'd take an offer.

Looks similar to mine- if so, the bore is probably 0.787". Should be a great player when properly repaired, but they'd have to drop the price to make it feasible.

Ad is gone --- do you remember what the asking price was? Still trying to find a sane but not give-away price for the stellar 163 BBb I am selling.

It was $3200.

edit: the link is still working for me.

Thanks -- this time link worked. That one is quite a bit older than the one I have, and yikes it is trashed. A project for someone.
