This followed me home tonight to be repaired.

I'm going to make new bobbins for this pup. The original bobbins are toast. I think this lap is a 1953?

fitting bobbin shims for rewinding:

I need the magnet in to jig up for gluing. The magnet is wrapped in wax paper so it won't be stuck in for good:

Thanks guys for the kind words.

A shot of the pickup after rewinding:

This thing really sounds sweet. Even though I like the Vol/tone on the same side, I liked it so much I've taken measurements to do a full detailed drawing in Autocad.
