This may be a decent buy

I have no affiliation, no vested intrest, just trolling the bay and found this.

It makes me wonder why people selling reel to reels almost never take pics of the heads. Looks very nice though.

I was eyeballing that one but no head pics and they are local pickup only.

Here is another 42B that is very local to me that is similar.

I thought the lifters looked pretty bad though but hard to tell.

What do you think of the heads and lifters?

At Least they took pics of the heads. From that distance they look to be in good shape, but who knows?

I think the heads might look OK too.

I'm more worried about how the lifters look.
