Extremely clean early 1940's New Yorker (serial# 130G) and Model 75 amplifier (serial# C8202). Steel has old-style screw on jack, sounds incredible. Amp sounds amazing, was gently serviced, new AC cable added.
$2500 for the pair.
Philadelphia area pick-up. Cash only. Thanks for looking.

Mike, I have 149G with the same appointments. Yours is cleaner, though! Classic guitars.

| Is that the string-through pickup? Does it have staggered pole pieces? |

Thanks Jim! they are sweet, but I must finance a new PSG.
Paul---I will check when I get this evening and update you. I believe they are NOT the string-thru pu's. |

It will be a string-through pickup with adjustable pole pieces, three per coil (the Valco string-through pickups have two coils).

Hard to tell without taking the palm rest off - or is that actually the upper magnet as well on these? Does not look like the typical Supro/Valco 6-holer.
My ~1940 Recording King Hawaiian Deluxe (otherwise 75% identical) has one of those "boxcars" but with staggered poles - actually 6 individual coils, offset every other string rather than three & three. Was curious if the same one was lurking in there. . .
I'm not a National historian but it looks to me like the pickup sits flat under the strings, and the palm rest (so thick!) acts to bring the magnetic field around the top. I bet it sounds cool! |

| Paul--I don't know too much about it. I bought this set 20 years ago and it has never left my studio. The amp makes any instrument sound incredible and the steel is super smooth. |

Here is mine - kinda like a baby New Yorker. . . wish I had the dough to jump on yours, especially if it's the same type of pickup. They are growly, not as smooth & glassy as the later & bigger ones (which sound more like a Tricone, as I'm sure they were going for.)

| Matt - those last 3 pics are of my Recording King, very similar in many ways (and I'm sure made in the same factory) but a different guitar! I just wanted to show it for comparison to Mark's National which is the one for sale. I'm still not sure if his is the same type of pickup - although looking again now I think maybe the palm rest itself isn't as thick as it looks & it wraps around the top part of the pickup wheras mine sits flat on top of it. So they may well be the same pickup. . . anyway, hope I didn't confuse/hijack the post! |
