Hey all. Wouldn’t mind having a period correct Sho Bud signal coil around for my ‘73 Round Front Single Pro. If anyone’s hanging onto a good one, let me know.
Thanks!

Hi Ben,
I recently acquired a pair of True Tone pick ups not realizing they were narrow mount (needed wide). I could sell you one for $50. These are what I have in my Super Pro and love 'em. I have never used these, so I can't vouch for whether they are working. If it turns out to be dead or non functional, I will happily refund you.

| Thanks Dan, but I’m only interested in a period correct original at this time. Hope the True Tone’s find a good home! |

I don't have a good one. How about a bad one? I'll give you this. It meters "open" and has a few stray wires trying to escape. You could have it rewound, or if you have the patience, maybe you can de-wind it back to a point where you can find continuity.

Not to derail the thread but how do these true tones compare in sound to the original Shobuds |

| John, these (which sold on the Forum yesterday) were a little hotter (@20kohm). I had a new one made for a 6139 a while back, would to somewhere around 18, and it sounded identical to the original (to my ears, anyway). |
