For sale -- a NOS reproduction factory-style, no-drill, chrome-plated TR2-3=

on my TR3B. It's been stored in the house all this time -- no issues with =
it at all.
The original version as shown in the 1956 S-T accessories brochure:

These were sold by Moss once upon a time (where for all I know this one cam=
