I'm helping a buddy out with this here in Portland. It was a Universal at one time. He got ahold of it with a bunch of parts missing & some modifications. I put it back to working order as an Extended E9, although with some additional parts it could become a Uni again. He wants to get $1800 for it, although he will likely be open to offers if that seems too high.
It's mostly in good shape, other than a couple things: there are some holes along the bottom edges of the cabinet where metal rails had been attached, and the pad has some perforations like maybe from a cat. I just put in a whole new set of tuning nuts (standard wrench will work with them.)
It currently has 4 pedals, and a 5th unused cross-shaft.5 knees. The setup is pretty much standard Emmons, although I currently have strings 1 & 2 raised on the 4th pedal. RKL drops 6 to F# and raises 1 to G. B pedal raises all 3 G#'s. No D string (RKR raises 9 from B-D), Low B on 12.
Plays well, has surprisingly little "cabinet" drop. Current pickup is a Greorge L 12-1. I also have a Lawrence 910 and a Truetone I could put it or include.
Case is in great shape, gray ozite.
