The 1934 National Trojan restoration will be complete in a week or two and I am thinking (<-- bad idea!) about the possibility of restoring an electric lap or pedal steel. (We have long cold winters here in Manitoba!)
If anybody has a beat up piece of "junk" collecting dust in the basement that you think deserves a second life, drop me a PM with some information on what you have and what you would want for it.
Thanks gang!

Good Evening, Dianne.
It would be nice to see pics of your Trojan restoration; Or link if you've already posted it and I missed it or forgot  .
I don't have any beat up junk you're seeking; But you might find 2 Electromuses listed here interesting for rebuilding or as a platform for custom ideas:

If these are still around when my "retirement" (  ) plan evolves from it's guitar collection selling stage and into it's custom building / rebuilding stage, ....I have many ideas for these aged mahogany planks, and even the unique sounding electronics assembly on a hubcap geetar  ; So yer ad caught my eye.
Thank You,
Merry Christmas and a Happiest of New Years,

Yes, that's REAL nice. What good work and thoughtful planning.
I did indeed miss those previous posts; Probably during a period when I couldn't get to the SGF while your posting was on page 1! Hardly ever time enough to make it to page 2 !
If you're gonna play it lap steel style, or horizontal "dobro" style; Have you considered swapping the tuners L->R and R->L so the tuning button shafts point upward? Makes tuning much easier / quicker in those styles' lap or strap positions.
Since we've never communicated ....and thus I don't know: Are you aware of nut risers for playing lap or horizontal styles?
Very good work; KUDOS.
Wishing you a Very Merry Christmas and Happiest of New Years.
