Description
A recent realignment of the celestial spheres has made it imperative that I sell the remaining few puzzles in my collection that have not already been sent to eastern Europe for safekeeping. As such, my final listing is the one I thought I would be least likely to sell: Katie Koala.
She has been disassembled for a photo with her joey, but it seems I've run out of time to reassemble her before listings close. If you want more photos, send me a DM.
One note: During initial disassembly of the puzzle, a threaded brass rod broke off in Katie's right ear, which was sent back to Brian Young for the removal and replacement of the rod. Looking at the puzzle, it's impossible to tell that this internal piece was replaced. The only difference is that during one of the solving steps, a piece locks in place at a different o'clock position than in the published solution booklet.
The puzzle has been handled gingerly and is in tip-top condition.
Solution PDF will be included.
