This is just a little bit of mind-numbing trivia for the Emmons push-pull lovers.

When Emmons was selling and turning out a lot of push-pulls it would save a little production time by pre-loading ...

I have an Emmons D12 push-pull I’d part with.

Just as info, some years ago I was talking with Joe Naylor about his seats. I asked him about the foam he used and I remember him saying he used the same type and quality foam used in the crew seats o ...

Old tech here.

Sounds like your PR needs service. Think about it, the amp is around 45-or-so years old. Few things can go that long w/o maintenance. As for old amps, yeah, there are still owners ...

I’ll take it.

About a month ago I got an old D8 Custom. It’s large front ‘Fender’ decal had come off and I looked online for a replacement. None were available or even made except for the smaller ones.

Are you talking about the presets one could get years ago, as I poorly remember, from a forum member?

Some time ago I saw Dale Watson perform and his longtime steel player, Don Pawlak, was with him. The whole band was great. I was really taken with how good Don Pawlak was.

I picked up a GS10 in rough shape. Non-mica’d with a red enamel underbelly. Brown-stained body and pedalbar. Dunno, might be a refin. Condition-wise, it “is what it is” but at least it’s all ...

Whichever way you go you’re going to have to have some soldering done. After 25 years of repairing amps I’m convinced it’s a skill, if not an art. Anyone who says, “Aw, it’s easy,” ends u ...

I have a BJS 7/8” 10-string bar I’d trade but I’m traveling now and won’t be home to send it for about 2 weeks So, if you haven’t worked something out by then contact me. Thanks.

I have a white LeGrande D10, serial number 068L. It’s an SKH, short key head, with 4-hole bellcranks. Unfortunately, it came with no paperwork or provenance so I can’t document or prove the year ...

I have what looks to be an early D10 SKH. It’s white and has 9 pedals although there’s an existing crossbar for a 10th pedal, too. I just got it and haven’t had a chance to clean it up and chec ...
