    The tuners aren't original if that matters to anyone.

    The seller has the original Kluson tuners as part of the sale. This is being sold under the new eBay scheme that has replaced the Global Shipping Programme. It shows me $14 in duties and this may be correct for the duty but it does not show the tax as the GPS did- that would be about $140 at the current price and shipping cost. I imagine eBay has done this to make more for itself by giving Pitney Bowes which did the GPS, the elbow.

    ...and that's the original soft shell case. I don't know what they cost in 1950 but the original soft shell case cost $10 retail in 1968.
    If it wasn't worth putting in a hardshell case, when it was new, it might be now.

    Sold for $770 plus $74 Shipping plus tax
