I am wondering if this is still available.
Thanks, Tom

I think the 15s were black and the more disireable 25s were gray. I've sold these 15s before for as lttle as $25 but don't currently have one in good condition. All the mirrors and screws can be replaced by ordering the parts from Davis if you find one that the silvering is deteriorating.
kind regards,

They dont sell the mirrors for the very early MK15s. Mine is from the 70s and the mirrors they sent me dont fit. I am going to re-silver my old mirrors.____Grant.

I mentioned in my earlier post that I had sold them for as little as $25. I must admit that that price was several years ago and that it was not in perfect condition and the foam in the box needed to be replaced.

Thanks for that information Grant.

kind regards,
