or anyone else
I just got my hands on what I'm guessing is a late 60's early 70's Marlen. It's a D-10 8X3 with the pull/release changer. The local music store took it in on a trade and it needs work, so, they called me in to help. The E9 seems to be pretty much there with the exception of the stops needing a little tweaking but the C6 looks a little different. It sort of reminds me of a ZB in that it has the double tree thing going on. I'll get some pics going when I get home, maybe somebody has a better idea of when this thing was built too?
Thanks

David; yes I would need to see the underneath, to explain what's going on there..ha.
As for the date; it's easy man. There should be a Marlen name plate underneath the guitar and a number on that plate ending in "1". just read it backwards and the 1st 4 numbers is the year ie> 5258691 Reads> 1968 5 25
There ya have that
