Ain't it though! That's why I'm looking at a Bandmaster, just 17lbs. Icon_thumbup

I'm hunting for the D model with the built-in pre-amp for a crystal mic. The C model requires a carbon mic. That $5 one on Ebay has so many extra holes it looks like swiss cheese. In addition to the load vari-cap, the plate vari-cap doesn't look original either. Those kinds of mods scare the bejeebers out of me.

That grey one isn't really a D model. The "D" has been added to the lettering. There are numerous extra holes in the faceplate and some existing holes have been enlarged to accomodate the replacement switches, making it just about impossible to restore to original.
