Haven't seen a serial number like that on a slant rotor, so figuring it must be a B&M piston.
Could be BBb or CC.
Instead of talking to your plants, if you yelled at them would they still grow, but only to be troubled and insecure?

Sure missed that! My piston Marzan had a number like 72xxx. I think the first 2 digits are the year of manufacture, but I'm not certain.

Judging from the pictures.... this Marzan is a CC. Probably a descent buy.

Is the linkage broken on the fourth valve? Are these typically string linkage?

Yes. The horn has string linkages. There's something 'wonky' going on. In one image the paddle is one direction and then the other direction in the other picture.

Probably fixable... ??
