I have a very early Predator 1st Edition with two shafts (one slightly later/laminated). I am looking to buy an inexpensive (plain) butt that fits my spare shaft, so as to have a cue for a guest player to use, or so I can stack mechanical bridges with a push-on fitting. I might also consider buying a near-mint condition/straight complete cue (very early non-laminated shaft) if a twin to my basic model/mid-90s 1st Edition (as a backup in case of theft).
