Location: Caribou, ME | Last week I bought a 1969 1115-4 in freakin' superb condition except for the standard issue top crack. It's humidifying right now and the crack is closing up nicely.. maybe in a few days I can cleat it.
Last night I bought an old Academy KA14:
Academy
I didn't think roundbacks were represented enough in my house so I had quotas to fill. |

Location: The Great Pacific Northwest | I had contacted the seller about shipping. He told me he'd ship any way I wanted. The seller doesn't have much control over that shipping calculator and eBay doesn't understand large boxes, so most "Parcel Post" qoutes for anything bigger than a bread box usually are in many cases not accurate.
Too bad I nap'd through the end of the auction :( |

Location: Caribou, ME | Yes, I mentioned the high shipping and we came to terms afterwards. Shame the calculator isn't accurate sometimes, they might have gotten more bids.
Still no good method of dating Applause/Academys, huh? I wish the serial numbers were datable like regular Ovations. I also have a 70s Moosup Applause and it bugs me I don't know the year! |

Location: Phoenix AZ | I have a production plan sheet for Academy. Shoot me your serial number I can probably tell you when it was made. |
