Anyone got an ID on this lap steel? It looks like an old magnatone of some kind. Model? Year? Pictures included.

Thanks.

It's definitely a Magnatone with replaced tuners. I don't know the model, but you're probably looking at late '40s to mid '50s. There's no known serial list for Magnatones, but you may be able to date the pot codes.
