Pot Replacement Help needed
Hello folks,
as much as I really, really don't want to, it appears I may have to replace a frozen volume pot on an early, early 40's National lap. It's stamped 'Stackpole 82A I-260'.
Can one of you genius pickers (and I mean that) direct me to a suitable replacement ?
Thanks in advance
!! PLAY ON !!

As seen in the 1939 catalog, this is a vintage 1940s Oahu 230k amp. Built and sold by Valco/National, these amps were originally intended to be paired with lap steel guitars from the same family. It wasn't long before players realized how great these things sounded for other styles. It sounds full-b...

NATIONAL DYNAMIC lap steel 1954 w OHSC ~ VG Cond !
I think it's about time this National model enjoyed some of the respect and love some other models have deservedly earned. Although not as elegant as the New Yorker, it has the same great tone, and why shouldn't it ? Both have the famous Valco pickup and the quality National construction. Gorgeous a...
