'50s earlier version (larger Bigsby logo on the front) volume/tone pedal. Tone pot is 304 60xx (1960). Volume (up-down) and tone (side-to-side) both seem to work. Replaced feet and bottom plate. Appears to be well played--note ball-of-foot depression in tread.

$400 + shipping (91214) in the USA. (Deduct $10 for PayPal if you pay in cash, postal m.o., etc.) Local pickup OK. If no interest, I'll try elsewhere online at a higher price

Email is best: weissenben (At) earthlink (D0t) net (this would not be the PayPal address.) I may or may not be checking this thread and/or PMs.

Not to sidetrack the thread, but I'm wondering when Bigsby changed from the large logo to the smaller logo. I'm assuming that the large logo was earlier than the smaller one. My Bigsby V&T pedal has the smaller logo and the original volume pot inside is dated 1954. (small logo, 1954). This one here has a 1960 pot and a large logo. So either the pot was changed at some point or the large logos came after the small ones, or the pedal was made in 1960 and Bigsby still had some large logo pedal frames on hand. Just wondering. Inquiring minds want to know.

Sold--on eBay, please close.

(And Doug--I wondered about that date issue too and the possibility of a replaced tone pot. I thought the logo changed before 1960, but except for the replacement bottom plate, this is as-found.)
