What is this? Microgon Paragon?

Ok, now...call me crazy but I can buy this. Ive been told very few were made. I need opinions on what it is. Has anyone ever seen one. I think the tag suggest this was #5 that was made. Anyways, have at me.

If it's the same one, those were built by a father/son team. They posted about them here, probably a couple of years ago now.

I need to figure this out and at what price one might expect to pay for one.

Again, not sure if this is the same one, but I think they were asking $1,100.

These are the ones I saw posted here.

Would 1,100 be a correct price on something like that? It does look similar. Ive got to contact or try to find out about this somehow.

I couldn't say. I didn't buy one, even though I thought it was neat, if that tells you anything. And looking at the nameplates, they appear to be different builds. I don't know if the level of detail is equal between the two.

Anyone else care to chime in?

It is the same one no matter how any times you ask the question
I did the research for you last night and posted the results in your other thread asking the same question

All you have to do is look at the photos of the sub, in your grouping and in their article

There is contact information on the guy's blog page, don't know if he sold them all or not. $1,300 appears to have been the asking price, others have suggested $1,100
You can write him directly and inquire, maybe he still has one he'll sell you as they appear to still be a contemporary item, at least as of April, 2013

Not news - these have been kicking around for a couple years now in different venues.
Are you the builder, trying to drum up interest in them?
I know they are hand built and all that, but they seem kinda pricey to me ...
perhaps "for Serious Collectors Only" ...

Good luck with your sales ...

I decided to pass on this. Too much, 400 maybe. Was 1500 new I found out.
