He would also do custom work if a player wanted something different. On mine, he replaced the RCA jacks with 1/4 phono jacks so that I could feed a second unit into the amp. beauty of smaller shops, kind of i suppose.. I dig that kind of personal attention on occasion :) thanks for sharing 'your li...

Given this image, maybe it is early factory lettering

That would make sense also,
looks good for that sort of work fwiw

this one also has mono rca jacks for the aux
no tuner out

Does anyone here know why this one looks different than many others I've seen glimpses of ( photos really)

WAG is maybe earlier production unit?

I do/I did, but that was the last stand as well as the last lapsteel. I used aluminum, plexiglass and nylon, but it could very easily be made from all wood.

Great looking work on both.

I have a copy of the book, but didn't get the CDs with the purchase

I'm pleased to hear that Brad is continuing the Forum...as b0b would want. Let me be clear - I'm not in charge.

I am wanting to take a trip this spring/summer to sell two pedal steels I have so I can consolidate into one, but I live in Billings, MT--far away from anything pedal steel.

Sorry to hear it, I was coming back to look at it for an old Gibson CGT

looks like I'll have to make it instead.

Thanks for the update, very much appreciated

I could take measurements if you need them for fabrication, if it comes to that...

Good luck on the quest

Happy Birthday Roy!

I read about a bar that was made for a Cajun player, Junior Martin. It was reportedly made by BJs bars quite awhile ago.

Anyone have one laying around? Or information on the unit?


Here's a mention of Junior

I asked about them shipping some of the smaller items, and they reported they could assist - for a fee, of course, as anticipated, but seemed reasonable overall

If it sounds ok quiet in mono, it'll sound fantastic loud in stereo. It doesn't work the other way round. Tend to agree... Believe this is why some of the older recording centric units had capacity to audition Left, Right, Mono, stereo, & stereo reverse playback of tracks. I have an old custom ...

Agree...

For the Leslie sim, organ folks seem to really like the Neo Ventilator -either the early or revised versions - both are well liked
