Miraphone 186 BBb Valve Cluster

Post by Cameron Gates »

I have rescued this valve cluster from a 1965 186 BBb SN 26**. Valve bearings are still in great shape and the valves still make great seal. Lacquer is gone for the most part. All rotor parts are present:

Stop arms and screws
Bumper plates and screws
Finger paddles and “S” linkage with stop arm bearing screws. (Entire paddle assembly minus springs is present)
Back bearing plates and caps

The valves are still assembled as a cluster. All valve slides are included and move well. Brass inner slides.

This assembly would be great for a 186 rebuild or a Chinese 186 copy hybrid project.

I have pics that I can email. My old standby Photobucket now wants money so I do not have the photos hosted. PM me or text (57 one) two two 8 - 8 one 4 one. Texting will get a faster response. I could also FaceTime a tour of the assembly if you would like.

$575 plus shipping. Text any questions.
