Condition issues but inexpensive.

Okay Hear me out, especially to all the techs on this forum. What if you bought this and a jinbao 186 clone. You cut the Miraphone rotors to CC and put together what fits? Miraphone 186 5U for -2,500?

The bell on this Miraphone has a pretty decent crack/tear/hole in it...

I am sort of doing this right now. I have a 1971 BBb I have cut to CC, and I have rescued the destroyed bell and outer branches in the process. PM me if you want to chat about it, or post here. That's just as good.

Really, really well, too.

To LargeTuba: Dan Schultz also does rescues of trashed 186s using replacement bells from clones.
