For $70 I just bought these. I felt bad just seeing them sit there all lonely, no one else calling to buy them. So I pulled the trigger. This will be my new project. I will hopefully post pics soon after thorough cleaning. They are as dirty as pics look. I was hoping they weren't once I saw them in person, but the better they will look once "restored".

All parts were there. It even had the original cowbell holder, that you can see in the catalog scans.
