Parallel pushrod tubes make this engine pre '38 with unenclosed rockers. The plunger frame is post war, about ten years later or more. Think they came in about 1947 along with teles, but I'm no expert. It's a lovely old lash up, prewar gear in a post war frame. Not as advertised.....
8000 Is for the above lash up, which might interest Trading Standards as the frame is 10 years later. They didn't make a plunger model 18 prewar. BIG MISTAKE.@@simonmerrin7967
