| As an owner of an early 50 Dual with traps I too would love to see some gut shots! |

I haven't begun yet .. This is the original coil ( it is open) and the bobbin is warped ... They are a real pain in the a$$ to rebuild ...
The coils are shellacked ... The bobbin is card stock paper with Forbon faces ...

I had my Dual Pro pups rebuilt by Lollar. They have all the parts.

I got everything here ... I just have a lot to do before I get to it.
I rebuild the string thru core out of polycarbonate ...
Jason and I offered a wonderful unit for a few years ... Same coil design with a 360 degree neodymium magnet array ... We called them "The MRI " ...
I equipped my Dustpans with them for several years ...
The Traps and MRI are medium-output units ... Having no ferromagnetic material within the core except for the strings ... Make them extremely sensitive and responsive ...
A great design ... |
