Default Harmon Spirder front end

I have the opportunity to buy a Harmon Spirder front end - length unknown at this time. I've seen it in person, it was offered to me last year when I bought a basket case but I passed on it. He messaged me just now and still has the front end.

Thoughts? Price? I don't know much about them.

Can you confirm if it is an older original Harmon or one of the modern ones being made? I know the story behind it and not questioning quality, but the older ones command more money.

Very Cali!!!!!!

Based on the last look I had at it, it would be an original one not the later version.

The seller is at $2k and I was at $500 needless to say it ain't happening, could be a blessing in disguise.
