Jaymi, are those twins Ruby or Red? Looks like they could be either in the photos. Ruby with BT is rare; Red with BT is more common. Nice!

Great! I think we've had this discussion before, but back when Ruby and Red were available, the BT was "standard" on certain colors: White, Silver, Midnight Blue, Red, and (believe it or not) Mapleglo. White trim (with chrome hardware) was standard on: Fireglo, Ruby, Jetglo . . . . According to the price lists, you could order "reverse trim" for an extra $50 back then, so folks had to pay extra for the Ruby with BT. Just as rare is Red with white/chrome trim for the same reason.

I had it for a short time. I think Sean Weingartner ended up with it...it was a 'ZB' serial number and was a 2piece guard....it had a little bit of mojo but not enough for me to keep it...

There is a link to a lot of pictures in my reluctant for sale post. Mine's not a pristine collector's piece but it is an awesome player.

There's one on eBay. It's from Olivia's Vintage so there are lots of pics to drool over.

I saw that one and also noticed that someone has entered the pics into the gallery on the register....seems like the end of 86 is when all of them appeared (at least by serial numbers)...does anyone have a shadow that does not have a serial number dated for the last quarter of 1986??
