http://www.ebay.com/?ssPageName=ADME:B:TB1:US:1&rvr_id=272045661393&clk_rvr_id=272045661393&rawquery=ebay&MT_ID=8&crlp=60750325_23400&tt_encode=raw&keyword=ebay&geo_id=1

There's a much worn Rickenbacher, on eBay, advertised as a 40-50 model B-6. The bid is currently $330.00.

The plates are WHITE........with one by the volume control "MISSING"......

3-5 of the tuning peg knobs are missing but the tuner
mechanism appears to be undamaged.

I noticed nothing appearing abuse or prior breakage.

What I detected, is that this is the pre-war 1 1/2 inch pickup and there is no metal tail piece. So, IMHO this could be a real steal due to the errors in this auction.

Just tho't someone might like to know.

Thanks Ray...although with 2.5 days to go and 13 bids already (not to mention many more "hidden" watchers") I think a bunch of other folks have already noticed too. Wink

This is the sort of thing I would have jumped at before I retired and went onto a restricted budget. Sad
