Long, detailed thread coming up: So I had all weekend to ponder over this one and with the invaluable assistance of my good friend @blubarb we were able to unravel a few myths of this 145.012 -67 (sold as one because of the inscription inside the caseback, mistakenly advertised by the dealer). What initially caught my eye, was the close T dial. How can this dial belong to a 145.012? Initial thoughts were a Franken but then my attention turned to the case- CB facets. Reached out to the dealer for the serial number who confirmed it to be an earlier range '66, serial 2495xxxx, and within the CB range. A request for a close up of the lugs, and I was 95% sure I was on the right track. John and another friend pointed to the possibility of the facets being added in, but with that dial and serial number, and the fact it was offered as a 145.012, I didn't really suspect this. So I'm happy as Larry, except for one detail, and the reason for this post- what is the go with those pushers? Extract has been ordered and all the pieces should fall into place.
Certainly a CB case and hopefully the extract will help prove you right. My only concern is that although people insist close T dials are correct on CB's, 95% seem to have wide T dials. Coupled with the caseback and pushers, I'd be slightly nervous here but it may well be ok.
