Mitch, thanks for the info and your time. will be working at it.

3.3.1 2183

ok. did that. it reads: updates are current. running a scan now. continues to inform that Real Time remains OFF.

Mitch, thanks. I do not have those higher numbers. I have 2183 showing. where do I look for the suggested update? my account shows I am current. confused?

I have been running Malwarebytes premium for years now. my thanks to Wiz. just yesterday an issue arose. I have an alert box popping up. it is Malwarebytes PREMIUM and it informs that Real-Time Protection is turned off. when going into Manage Protection settings I see that it is OFF. when clicking i...

https://bb.steelguitarforum.com/userpix1712/4501_ricky_004_1.jpg if you carefully remove the horseshoe pickup you will find crushed newspaper inside the hollow metal body. I have been told that when assembled the newspaper at hand is used. This is a good indication of the date of my Model 59.[/img]

tune to open E and the notes are all there.

hey partner, nice slanting.

It feels counter intuitive to break up a set. However, I completely understand. I need to go for the highest dollar; it's hard living on a fixed income.

Doug. thank you for the keen insight. Satisfying to know that good design has staying power.

This is mine. I have played it and it sounds fine. I need to part with this, unfortunately. Thanks for the feedback.

I believe this is a Magnatone. Curious to learn the year and value.

great video Mike. I find this tuning very user friendly; especially from a six string guitar player's perspective. Many styles can be played. from blues, rock to country and jazz.
Mike, we should record one of our Friday jazz sessions.

just be careful of the thin wire. the paper is old and brittle. I got lucky and found the date right off.

yeah. that's it.

I have two pre war epi's. a Century and an Electar. the pickups had low output when I first got them. I replaced one with a Jason Lollar Chicago Six and the other was rewound by Lindy Fralin. both steels sound and play great. they will outlive me.

My Epiphone Century had weak output when it first arrived at my door. I learned the pickup was open, meaning a wind or several were broken. I sent it to Lindy Fralin. he called back and said no problem. He did a fantastic and affordable job. my 2 cents.

Hey Mike. can't wait to hear it.

get a hold of Lindy Fralin. he has a website you can find with a google search. he rewound the pup on a 1939 lap steel. it sounds great. he is unfazed by any order it seems. he communicates well. he actually phoned me to clarify what he was going to do after I mailed him the pup. excellent work at a...

my Model 59 original paint. sort of a rough light beige toothy surface. the newspaper inside dates to Oct. 10, 1938. I bought it at Willie's American Guitars in St Paul, MN for $ 395 about seven years ago.
yours looks great and should bring in more bucks. everything works.

I'll let you know. I remembered that the orientation of the original and are pot were the same. I will attach the wires accordingly. thanks for your input. always welcome and appreciated.

the penetrating oil worked. after a few hours the shaft loosened. the next day the shaft moved with little effort, but there was a chirping squeak sound. the next day the strange sound went away. the shaft moves almost like the new replacement. I will put the original back in. I did forget which wir...

great picture. I hadn't thought to investigate the stuck pot. shame on me. I will work on it, thanks to your great input. much appreciated.

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v423/dogbitey/ricky004_zps749ee6ed.jpg I had to open up this instrument today. The jack began shorting. As is well known, the inside is stuffed with newspaper. This one shows the LA Times financial section; dating October 11, 1938. The jack was replaced with a mode...

very cool Mike.
