p.s. I don't see my friend John Widgren's name on the list here,but he's usually got at least 2 push/pulls (if not half a dozen) kicking around. John also just re-buit an old Emmons P/P for my friend Eric Weissberg up in Woodstock, NY.Add Skip Krevens,Pete Adams, and Doug Beaumier, these are guys that are all within a stones throw of my home here in Connecticut that I know are Emmons players.

I just joined y'all this week. I just unpacked a black mica S-10 3+4 push-pull from Bobbe's SGN. If the serial number is in the same sequence as the D-10's then it's a 1971.

I have a '75 black P/P D-10 8+4 S/N 2156, Its been a workhorse and put food on my table many times,One of these days I'm gonna send it to Mike Cass and get it what it deserves. It would be cool to see names associated with P/P S/N's and see how many we can account for.......

I have a 1977 D-10 with 9&7 rosewood & alum. built by Jimmy Crawford. Its one of four p/p's that I have had since 1970. Mike Cass rebuilt it last year and it works like new. I'm working on getting one back that I sold about 25 yrs. ago.
