Here is what seems to be an all original Phoenix that just looks to need some cleaning and TLC. Looks OK but needs new control knob and maybe a cleaning and setup. Not tested so not guaranteed but looks OK. At least all the parts are there except the whammy bar. If price stays low would be worth it I think. :look: :up:

Looks to be an x185 or thereabouts, correct.

I'd say so. That was probably Graphite finish. I know those have been known to take on a greenish tint.

Silverstone it is. I get confused sometimes - rough time in the '80's. :)

Anyone here snag this one? It went pretty reasonably. I had an idea for fixing the knob.

I had a pretty low ball bid in there but unfortunately (or fortunately in my case) had a meeting to attens - so I missed it by a few bucks. I even had a knob for it too.
