I recently found this older Zumsteel U-12. The serial number indicates it was the 25th built, which was in 1977. It is real lightweight and sounds great. The previous owner had the legs powder coated black because they were pitted and in poor shape. Here is a photo:
Just thought I'd share this piece of Zum history. It is 6 pedals and 6 knees, I wonder what the original copedant looked like, don't see too many setup 6x6 from the factory, hmm...

Very drool worthy.
Maybe Bruce can tell you how it was shipped.
Any chance of undercarriage pix?

The serial number will tell you what it came with. Mine says S1275, which means it's a single 12 with 7 pedals and 5 knee levers, the remaining numbers refer to the year it was built. |

S1266 is the first part of the serial, it was built this way, just curious what the copedent was.
