Incoming 5513 Maxi!
Hey guys!
Just when I stopped searching for a maxi to acquire something else, I found my 1680 a younger brother! Was hard to let this one pass when seen in the flesh yesterday. A very honest example IMO. 7.59M Serial, a MK 4 maxi. Hands may have been changed, but the price point for a decent example like this was very very fair to say the least. The insert was one that I bought a while ago in case I needed it. Glad I pulled the trigger on it back then. |

A 5513 Maxi is a true classic that should be in everyone's Vintage Collection.
