LOTS OF PICS BELOW - CHECK THEM ALL OUT.  
Here's an early '66 Mosrite Ventures (Mark V I believe).  The fella I got it from told me he bought it in 1974.  I'm not an expert on the Mosrites, so took many pics.  Everything works well, the action is good, and it plays and sounds great. It has quite a few dings, dents and scratches, and typical lacquer checking.  There's a crack in pickguard.  It was missing one tuner when I got it.  I replaced the tuners with modern Klusons (correct type with safety post).  The remaining original 5 tuners are included - one of them has a bent shaft, but they all worked.  The pickguard is cracked clear through, but the screws hold both pieces down fine.  Truss rod is fine.  First few frets have a little wear, but not enough to cause problems.  The fretboard wood grain is not real smooth - especially down by the serial number, but again, nothing that seems to cause any playing issues.  The tremolo arm appears bent a bit.Serial number is 3464 (the last digit is hard to read).  Neck date Jan 6, 1966 and body dated March 8, 1966.  Original case has a rope for the handle, and typical wear.  Hinges and latches all good.Ask questions & thanks !
