From my post below, I am trying to restore a kalamazoo that I recently bought and want to keep. The biggest problem is the control plate. I can always make it from brass as a last resort and have it nickel plated. I've gotten a few suggestions as to pickups that will work. Should I just buy new for the pots and knobs? My other option is to leave well enough alone and just replace the pickup as the poles don't line up anyway. Someone put in a Guyatone pu for whatever reason. Thanks again, Ron |

I'll get you those measurements as soon as I can find the instrument, probably this weekend. |

Someone must have cut the top off of that control plate making it 6 sided unless it's not gibson. If the bidding stays low it still might be worth buying it for the pu and pots. Thanks for keeping an eye out.
