1936 National New Yorker Lap Steel disassembly video

Mike Busam · From: Ohio, USA

Greetings... This video of the disassembly of a 1936 National New Yorker Lap Steel came up in my YouTube subscriptions list today. I just checked the list archives, and the topic of how these were put together has come up as recently as 2024, but I don't think there have been many (or any) videos that show the process of getting inside these instruments for repair ... Well ... it seems to be a struggle to work on these! I thought the group might find this video of interest.

Take care,

Is it any wonder that they switched to a single string-through Valco pickup in the early 40’s? I can’t imagine how much assembly time those things took! Fascinating…
