Congrats. it's a real handsome piece.
It's also something I've been eyeing for the past 2 years but without luck.

I'd recommend Andrew for sure. Good luck finding one that works for you. Russell.

You are right about that era. I was 9-10 in '72. I remember having a maroon silky/nylon shirt and herringbone maroon and white bell bottom pants. I though I was hot stuff just like Bobby Sherman and Michael Jackson. Russell.

Of course, you've chosen the best to deal with so no surprises were to be expected :-)

Thanks so much my friends and that is directed to all of you! It's nice to have something to post on the Vintage site.

Well said buddy!

I've been on the fence about getting one of these for a while. This post just pushed me off!

I need one...

And you cannot find a better dealer than Andrew.
