rare and looks great condition, oldie with the rth and dbl socket neck but missing neck adj screw...

...someone?

Third 'photo down.........is the top of the body slightly bent with ripple damage ? If I'm right, then apart from that, it appears to be in great condition. It wouldn't put me off but anyone buying it may have a small repair bill.

I'm not real familiar with these except by reputation......what is the round thing just above the palm 'F' key, near those ripples?

I think it is the socket for the screw.

Like a neck screw? I'm having a little trouble picturing what it does.

 

[Nevillesax]

I'm not sure but I think that may be the lyre mount screw?
Mine is up on the neck tenon mount, but mine is a later horn without the double socket neck...interestingly the lyre mount and neck screw are exactly interchangable on mine, don't know if that's the case with the dbl socket type but that would save some hassle for sure!
Yeah, it is hard to tell in photos whether there is any bow in the upper body there.

the entire cone appears to have a bow in it...still a nice horn!!

Thanks, Nev. That's probably it.

I'm sure Parcel Force could make a better job of bananaing it. I sometimes wonder if they're in league with my repair dude.
