Shouldn't have used the term switched. SB as the reverb is faded in. Footswitch use is irrelevant.

Maybe I'm being obtuse, but why not just use a new power strip instead of messing around with the old one? Heck for $15 they have ones that include USB charge ports, wall wort spacing etc.

I have an old Special 130 with the Scorpion Plus speaker in it. It's loud as hell but I've started having a little weirdness with it. I cleaned the pots with Deoxit -- that seems to have helped a bit. ...

The odd part about it is that whoever owned it before the guy I bought it from put velcro (fuzzy side) all the way around the body. I suspect he had some kind of cloth draping system or maybe display ...

Thanks Bob. I'll probably have Jim Palenscar look at it when I get the chance. The C pedal already has a fairly long throw on it.

I finally broke down and bought a steel guitar. The previous owner thought it was a Cougar. He wasn't 100% sure since there are no nameplates or serials anywhere on it. A few internet photo searches t ...

Thanks for the suggestion. What affect would it have on the spin-a-split pot which would seem more affected by the taper than actual pot value?

I bought a cheap Rogue lap steel to goof around on and decided I wanted a beefier sound out of it than the stock single coil pickup. Also thought it would be fun to try the "spin-a-split" st ...

Exactly, Don.

I got a short note from Buddy and one from his management company this morning about the steel being recovered too. Great news!

Just saw the new follow-on posts after I had sent Buddy's mgt company an email about this. Glad to know the police are working on it. Interesting that the seller has a 100% positive rating on eBay.

$1500 on this one. But the guy won't answer my emails -- not that I really want a ZB because I don't lol.

I looked at the Rondo but it's actually $50 more when you include shipping which for my experimental purposes was $50 more than I needed to spend. Guitar Center shipped it free and I had a $10 off cou ...

I hadn't considered they were chromed plastic and they are LOL. Put a magnet on them and no stick. They sure look like metal -- right down the outline of the post.

Thanks Glenn. I'll give the Super Glue a shot. The buttons are chrome; not plastic. They look nice but I have no clue how they actually attach other than some sort of press fit.
