Thanks for the reply and the comment!
Don't know the SN. Asking the seller for SN, no response as yet.

I sure like it .... That would be my only replacement to my P serial 16610. I love everything about a stainless Sub,, all the better if it was a '71 and RRRRREEEEEDDD...lol

Looks good but I saw this listed at $9000 at other forums so please make sure that you buy the seller.

Yes, I realize it could be gamble. Seller has low post count and is newbie.
You have to start as a newbie once. No reply to my email which I sent yesterday afternoon. I could lose my money on this transaction.

Thanks guys for all your comments above.

Mark II with a replacement insert? It's absolutely gorgeous. Could be an incredible deal if everything is ties out.

Good luck!

Warning from waQstar who responsed to my reference check in Who's Who, "Run Forrest Run, if he's on this forum, please state his TRF handle.. ".
He's not on this forum, TRF.
Likely a scam.

Like the old saying goes" if it's too good to be true".
