Thanks for all the interest in the amp but it has been sold and on the way to it's new owner.

Thanks again,

Tim

Looking for $150 plus shipping...I don't need it...thought somebody would like a little piece of history...

I have a Sho-Bud Amp for sale....I bought a 6139 back in the mid 70s...the amp came with it...didn't work then and I had an amp so I just stored it...looks like serial #40..all labelling was done with a handheld engraver....Looks like the Model is a Compactra 100 Custom......sold as is....will attac...

I'd certainly suggest Ricky Davis. Did a great job on mine a couple of years ago. Knows what he is doing and very patient when dealing with my questions...

I have seen Paul's discography from 25 years back or more..can't seem to find it on the net now....anybody have it?

Thanks,

Tim

A blue Crown Royal bag has held up really well for a long time.....

Thanks guys...absolutely great stuff...

Wondering who played the steel on this version of "After the fire is gone"...probably Paul Franklin...great stuff...would love tabs for this...

Don't know what bar he uses but from the videos I have seen...he could probably use a lifter from a 1963 Chevy 327 and sound great

6139 Cooped up by Ricky Davis...both gentlemen did a great job because this guitar had been in an attic for 20 years all WD40'd up...was ugly..believe me

Great tune by Carl and Pearl Butler I found on www.youtube.com....

Love the steel break...anybody recognize the steel player?

also..is the "Marge Simpson" character's look based on Pearl's hair style of this period?

Ricky Davis did a great job on mine

Just received my tuning wrench from Carl yesterday...outstanding...sure beats the 3/16 nut driver I was using...a little over 1 1/2 inches in length...good job Carl! If you don't have one you might want to check it out. http://bb.steelguitarforum.com/viewtopic.php?t=145003&sid=b81b99400422abaa57...

Absolutely....can't go wrong with those guys...

Great looking guitars guys, here is my CoopDeDavis

John and Ricky hooked me up...love the results...

Hi Patricia,

Would love the chart if you ever get caught up...I can see you are quite busy....

Thanks in advance,

Tim

see how much I hate punishing you...sent it twice...

sorry guys

John...hate to keep punishing you man....ha ha

you are too kind...

I had John Coop make the parts and Ricky Davis do the rebuild...couldn't be happier with the way both gentlemen do business and the results to my Bud...I suggest contacting then for pricing...like others have mentioned...ever project is different.

Michael,

I hear you...maybe when I figure out what all of that stuff does....I will really understand...still trying to keep track of what does what and when to use "what"

I am use to dealing with five strings....ha ha

Brad,

Those keys have to be tough...they have surely taken a beating over the years....still work just fine..

Bill and Skip..great looking guitars....

Hey John, Believe me...I have looked at your pictures of that beautiful steel many times before I sent mine to Ricky...funny...I have never cared for the color green in anything,clothes, cars, etc....but I do like this old green steel. If I had to choose between the red and green...I would take one ...

Thanks a bunch Andy.....I agree...they make a great team and I couldn't be more pleased.

Thanks Ricky....the hidden switch is pretty slick...now if I can just learn some of your hot licks....
