I have recently aquired an old Goodrich volume pedal with the power cord coming out the rear end. Unfortunately the model number isn't on the plate anymore. The previous owner thought because it doesn't work that the problem was a burned out bulb. The bulb is not burned out though. I'd like to bring this pedal back and put it to use. Does anyone on the forum have some expert knowledge that they'd be willing to share? I wonder if the problem could be the sensor itself? Are there any schematics available on the web? I'm sure there must be some information out there, this forum has so much depth after all. Here's hoping someone can help....Cheers

I had a pedal like that at one time.
I sent it to Goodrich for some service work and they wouldn't return it to me because of liability problems.
It seems that players were receiving electrical shocks from the pedal when using it on a wet stage. This pedal doesn't use a wall wart, there is line voltage going directly to the pedal. Whoa!
