The ebay machine's horn looks like a sawed off front mount horn (look at where it hangs on the support). Also the nice gold finish on the horn support is exactly the same as the reproducer and looks to good to be an expiremental machine. The decals on the horn are cheap reproductions. My opinion is that it is a frankenphone.
