Maybe a late model special order could have been lacquered if ordered during the Aristocrat run, but TT's originally came in either bare brass, nickle, silver or gold plate. A lacquered model would most probably be an aftermarket job.BPSAX said:Also, not talking about the affects of plating/laquer, but were the Silver Plated sops made to higher standards than the ordinary laquered ones?
I've seen quite a few of the older style ("actual" and stencils) since the beginning of this year. Ironically I've seen three late models show up on eBay as well (that's quite a few actually).BPSAX said:Thanks for the info.
Do they come up on ebay often? Both early and late models?
Also, Bruce, would you be selling yours on eBay or here?
Thanks guys.

It's my understanding that Buescher made some later-model Csops keyed up to High-F. I've never personally seen one, but because of thier rarity, I believe they make the later-model curvies we've been discussing seem cheap by comparison...bruce bailey said:I would need about $1,200 for mine with the older pads. They cover quite well and the keywork is excellent, plating near perfect, original case. Best to call me to get it off of the thread discussion. 305-667-4935.
BTW I missed out on a nice looking TT C soprano tonight, went for about $666. I hope that is not bad for the buyer!
I sould prefer to have one of the later curvies but I can't warrant the extra $$$ compared to the older ones.
