Re: golden era r13 barrel bore

Hi Ken, I have a bore guage which I slide slowly down the top joint and to best of judgement there appears to be a virtually linear decrease in diameter between the top and a point just below the speaker, of course allowances have to be made for 50 years of aging but the overall dimensions of bore seem not to have changed much over those years.
Testing other R13s does show a fairly abrupt change in diameters and on many you can often perceive these changes by letting reflected light glance off the bore walls.
That's why I am rather curious about my instrument which incidentally I purchased in the USA some 30+ years ago.
