I bought it. I compared the pictures to the wrap on the one in Dan's excellent pictorial essay on his site, and I think it is in BBb. Like all Eway gambles, I'll have to wait until it is unpacked to know whether it is what I am hoping for, or something else. Until then, I am permitting myself a little optimistic anticipation!

Congrats, Tom. It's a BBb and appears to be a .687" bore.... actually somewhat rarer than the other .750" bore King rotaries.
Send me some images when you get it. I may just start a 'pit model' page, too!

I am looking forward to getting it and will gladly provide photos. This showed up just as it was my birthday-- a great and unexpected present!
