Zeiss on EBay

Post by edsel585960 »

Too bad the bell is all roached. :( Looks pretty good other than that. http://www.ebay.com/itm/Vintage-KARL-ZE ... SwMVdYITZD" target="_blank

Would that be worth repairing? It looks like some kind if terrible rot or fire happened to that bell...

Different than the Ziess tubas I usually see. This one does not appear to be a B & S 101 stencil. Maybe made by Bohland and Fuchs or Cerveny/Amati by folks who once worked for Alexander. Mixed parts for sure.

I understand the stencil was put on some Cervenys. If so, this looks like one of those.

Looks like a 481 (usually seen under the "Amati" name in the States - ABB-481).
