Vintage 1960's Bigsby B3 Vibrato Tailpiece Short Hinge Fully Functional Les Paul

Description

This listing is for a vintage 1960's Bigsby B3 tailpiece. It is in good physical shape with a bit of cosmetic wear. Here are some notes about it:
The old style grub screw string holders have all been removed, a drop of 3 in 1 applied, and reinstalled. None are seized, stripped, or broken.
The unit was dismantled and all of the old, dust caked grease was removed. Fresh grease was applied to the original Torrington USA needle bearings. These are in great shape. The string bar still fits nicely. No slop. Bearings are still moving smoothly.
Only one washer in the arm assembly appears to be stock, the weird reddish brown ones that gave the bar "grip" to the holder. The bolt is stock, but I think the mounting nut is changed (or is a type I never seen before).
No spring.
Black paint is flaking.
Aluminum is oxidized and scratched.
Otherwise, it is a very smooth, still fits together very well for one of this age, and is ready to install on your guitar with the addition of a spring and mounting screws.
