Advertised as "not modified."

I think the fact that everything on it with the exception of the bell is not  Olds might qualify as a modification. The slide's from a Martin, with braces from something neither Martin nor Olds.  I have no idea where that cool bell brace came from. but it's not Olds. The "original case" is not like anything Olds ever used. And yes, I emailed the seller. No response.

I love a good Frankenhorn, but only if it's sold as such.

I wish it were set up right-handed.

It actually looks like some reasonable craftsmanship. I noticed a 'buy-it-now' for over two hundred bucks on an Ambassador on the same page. Are they going that high?
