Big Poppa, Any Opinions on this Prototype?

I wish I were drunk in Scotland.

I may have to make do with Texas, I fear.

Here's the electronics...
Do the pots look like US made pots?

 

[Rod Trussbroken]

IMO, the pots are UK origin.

Also, the solder joint in the second pic appears non-original. It's been resoldered. You can see the new solder sitting on top of the older joint. Old soldering appears dull, even when using a camera with a flash.

I have doubts as to the originality of the electronics and doubts as to its originating in the US.

Well.. it brought in almost 3.000 USD.. so somebody was believing in it.. I did not make it to bid, but that does not matter.. cause I would not pay that much money for something I was not 100% sure of..!

 

[teonigil]

It brought about 2200$ (1810 EURO) and if you were sure of its originality it would have probably cost you around 10K.
I wasn't 100% sure as well but still bid high (1800 EURO).
Winning bidder is a local music store in Germany.
I'll wait for X00204

 

[Cutlass I]

Arh yes.. I was just look at the $$$ sign.. that was AU$, not USD$$$

Not sure who Mr. Tiles is but the winner's ebay account goes by the name sonnenball2000.

All of this makes me wonder who much my B001013, which is dated 16/6 1976 (first batch left the factory 22/6 1976 from what I have read) should go for on EBay.

Any suggestions.?

[Steve Dude Barr]

Wouldn't find me bidding on that...

 

[Cutlass I]

Im sure you will...

 

[teonigil]

Actually, what I'm really looking for right now is a clean body 1983 SR.
Don't ask me why...

 

[Rod Trussbroken]

Why

 

[teonigil]

To match my 83 Cutlass-I neck of course

 

[teonigil]

I'm still lamenting, Gav
