Re: IML: 1956/1955 Horn Ring stainless repro value?

[David Dimitriou <macedonxx@xxxxxxxxx>]

I'd say while you are at it the '62 and the like are a good candidates for repro as well. If there ever was a design destined to failure this is it. It's an engineering nightmare. Weak material, stress focused at the bend, and no limits or stops to prevent overtravel. Gee ya think they might break? Duh? I don't know how many broken ones I've seen. That includes mine until I replaced it.
