Now isn't that something special !

Except for the base ... who'd know, and I would definitely keep the base as it is.

When I spotted it on eBay, I had to have it because of the burnt base. I thought it was amazing how burnt it was, yet the most important parts were unaffected. I’ve paid less for 10s in better shape, but as you said, this one is special. Here’s some before pics.
