Yuk!  Looks like it's been used as an incontinence pad for a decade.

The TV yellows are kinda ballpark figure 8lbs......a little lighter would have been nice ( my '58 LP is 8.4)

Hootsmon

anyone think that's a reasonable weight for a Junior?

Do it!! Here's a tasty pic from when I bought a secondhand 2019 TV Special (from Reverb) for a song and then a few days later bought a 2006 1960 CS TV Special VOS (from this forum) before moving the 2019 on (just preferred the level of finish on the CS, but the 2019 was a great player!). I'm planning on keeping the CS for now... though a new Martin is on the cards!

The CS models are much nicer. Better weights and better fit and finish overall. Different leagues really. There’s a CS Special on gumtree for £1500. Used to have a Bigsby though so probably worth a bit less than £1500

You'll probably recognise the CS TV Special in my pic @hyperben seeing as it was yours haha!

The Hamer CS Junior I'm selling is easily on a par with the two 50s Gibson Juniors I've owned and better both in terms of build quality and tone than the Gibson CS Junior that I used to have... and I'm based in Edinburgh 

Hootsmon
