This fellow is asking about them.
I solved a previous mystery brand for him and it would be great if someone has any info. His website is a great reference on all things guitar brand related.

Wow! Polytron... that's a new one; or should I say old one, to me. Those pedals look like something I saw on an earth mover. I think they are big enough... but I don't know for sure.

Nothing comes up on the SGF Search function. Interesting!

The changer looks like a raise/lower a la Harlin Brothers. There was a local brand in Seattle from that era with a name something like "Chord Guitar" but it had only the raise changer not the lower. I had one for a short time.

Something weird is happening when I click on that link.
A suspicious offer of a $1000 gift card, in a popup window.
Never had that happen before.

Reminds me of a Hise. Two legs screw into the case, which has heel-toe pedals mounted on an axle. My first pedal steel was a Hise. It was horrible. This was my copedent chart. {{shudder}}
