For the current price it’s a great shelf item for the garage. ($66.00)

Such a same that an earlier carb for $66 is a shelf item while you’d have to get into the 4 digit range for the same thing for a ’29 on up.

Pot metal vs. bronze & brass. That carb is indistructible. The pot metal fails just by looking at it. Such is the fate of 99 percent of the UU series carbs.

I know.

Over the years I have picked up many spare carb bodies or complete OX-2 carbs for my Rickenbacker as cheaply as $20.

I was just lamenting the pricing disparity.

Crying in my beer so to speak.

That said, anyone that has a vehicle that uses a brass bodied carb should pick up spares while they can. With the rising cost of scrap brass I’m afraid some will be scrapped rather than hauled around to swap meets and sold.
