Get a real good look at it at 2:25 min.

The more obscure the sighting, the more fun it sems to be; (crazy).

Cool find - judging from 0:34 in that second video, the Maphis is missing the vibrato arm.
Oy vey - it's MESHUGGA BEACH PARTY - The world's premier Jewish Surf Music Band!

Hey Mel,

Yeah that arm is gone in this vid.

I can kinda relate, I removed the vib arm from my 1971 VI back in 1982 when playing straight punk & new wave, and have never put it back on to this day. Maybe its time to re-arm.
