Thanks. Oddball factory job is my best guess,so I'm thinking it's about a 45 or 46. It gets along real well with the model 75 National amp from the same era. The B6 is my pick for recording right now. ...

First, I'd like to thank you all. I've learned a great deal reading the forum and at Brad's page of steel. I've been playing lap steel a few years but consider myself a beginner. Great resources here ...
