Over the years I've owned an assortment of Goodrich products; volume pedal, matchbox, match-bro, etc.
I'm curious about their history such as when did they go into business and in which towns they manufactured their products.
For instance, I currently have two L-120 volume pedals, one is from Ruskin, FL and the other Whitehall, MI. Which one is older? |

Whitehall, MI is the original manufacturing location.
It's only been recently (3-5+ years)the business was moved to FL.
One of the brothers/partners passed away as I recall some time ago. |

Wrong, the Ruskin model is the oldest. They moved to Michigan from Ruskin, Fl. I don't remember exactly when but I would say early/mid 90's. They recently moved to Georgia.
They were somewhere else before Ruskin, but I don't remember where. |

| Jack's older than me so I guess we'll go with Ruskin being the original. Like Jack, there was another interim location (GA) between the two & I couldn't think of it either. I think they were in MI in the late 70's/80's however. |
