Just another 5513 :)

I already had one last year but traded it one day with knowing I'll regret it...well...I did.

I regretted it so much that I tried to buy it back. Owners changed meanwhile but I was lucky enough to find the new owner. 

To my disappointment the new owner asked more than double of what I traded it for...450€ was way too much for this

5513 even though I'd love to get it back :(

 

Lucky me...a few weeks later there was one very nice 5513 for sale which only needs a bit love to be as lovely as my former 5513 was :)

 

I proudly present...just another 5513...

Thanks for the nice words guys :)

The T19 isn't a superdome...that's a so called service dome :)

I'm afraid that is not a service dome. Regardless, it's a great project you assembled.  If someone sold that as a service dome, you should contact him.  If it was a service dome and you sanded and polished it to get the rounded corners..then great job!

You are right :)

It was sold just as a T19 and I thought it's a service dome just because it isn't a super dome :D

I learned that this plexi is just called dome :)

Don't care much for the Service Dial look on vintage BUT I love the faded insert.

 

First item of business is to put a long cornet period correct 702 crown on it.  If you can't afford gen, go for Athaya's 702 and 7020 tube. 

Next shave that crown guard down a bit more, inside and out.  

 

Good to go.

how old is this mbk case? it looks different to me

To be honest...I don't know. I bought it with the bezel assembly some month ago.

The crown I bought last year as a gen 702 off the bay as well as the plexi...bought it as gen but seems to be not :(
