Old York? Holton? Grand Rapids? BBb on craigslist

Post by Tubajug »

In Seattle, not mine, but they only want $140 for it. It says missing the third "key," hard to tell from the pictures if they mean the whole valve or just the stem/button. Might be worth it for parts to someone. I just thought I'd pass it along:

If at first you don't succeed, skydiving's probably not for you.

On a slightly related topic, do the old York BBb's share the same bell and bigger bows with the Monster Eb's? They look similar, but I've only ever seen them in pictures and never side by side. Just curious...

Alex, York made a small, a medium, and a large Bb. I owned a small one and a medium one(Brian F owns it now) as well as a Monster Eb and the outer bows as well as the bore were the same on the small Bb(model 33?) and the monster Eb. FWIW, Ed

I own a small Grand Rapids (York) BBb and a York Monster Eb, and the bell and bottom bow are the same. After that, the taper through the rest of the larger bows is different. Bore size of both is .656".
