The lever changes the tuning.
No idea what to price it at. You hardly ever see those, looks like a late 50s/early 60s model? |

I'm told this might be a '61 (circa) model #80C. The prevalent vibe so far is that it might fetch between $500 & $600.
The lever does change tuning. One fellow who claimed to know told me that if you know how to work it, the Multi-Harp Triplex will actually give you three distinct tunings. Somehow that seems doubtful to me. Whoever had it before I got it had it set up to do nothing more than lower the 2nd string by a step ... I'm guessing to maybe give the player a pedally-sounding 2nd-to-3rd sound.
The guitar is in great shape. The only thing I can see immediately wrong with it is that the adjustment screw for the 1st string is not original, and whatever's on there doesn't do the trick. Otherwise, it's a thing of beauty.
