Vito Time Capsule from 1973

**FremontSax** · 07-09-2010, 03:04 AM

I just opened a Vito Model 35 Case that has only been opened three times

since 1973.

It comes with the original receipt for its sale in 1966.

Without further adieu please review the following historic photos

I like optics of my 4 Mega Pixel Camera more then my 8 Mega Pixel cell phone.

I do love an educated guess. However this sax has got its cork falling off and the pads look very very sad.

It had one owner (i am told) so that owner during his jr and sr high years must have actually practiced.

Otherwise the pads would just be old and not so spit stained.

Actually I can't evan see the pictures they take about a million years to load but I figured I just take a shot in the dark

They are about 2 Megs each. Are you using a 14.4 KB modem?

I suppose I could down sample

It looks just like this horn, only blurrier.

Apparently not all Vito Saxs where made as non-blurry as others, we know it can't be my photography.... right?

Very nice one Mal under a thousand and re-padded and re-corked. And sold? $995

That dent on the LH side of the bell looks familiar... did you buy this on eBay recently from Linnmarr of Virginia? If so, I was watching it, and made an offer, but they listed it for weeks, a few times, at over $500. Finally, they dropped it to something just over 350, if memory serves.
