What Is This?

Picked this up a long time ago. Seems like a Japanese version of a Harlin. Maybe.

Anyway, make an offer and I'll donate all of the proceeds to the Forum. You'll have to pay shipping, though, unlesss you're in the Los Angeles area...

As my Grandson would say," I not know"

The tuners look like they came from an Epiphone steel. The pu would most likely be Japanese, and the changer...?????

Paul --

I don't know what it is. How do the pedals connect to the changer?

That is a 1960's Teisco. Do you have the legs and the cables that connect the pedals to the changer? I have this in an old Teisco catalog but no way to post or email it. No working scanner or camera software. MLA

"I not know". Priceless. Funny though, I not know either. Sorry. But I think the fellow above knows.

Definitely a Teisco, though I have never seen the photo of a complete one. The pickups, if nothing else, are a dead giveaway.

Wow - a Teisco! Who knew? Well...obviously, several of you did! The pedals connect to the changer via cables. I do have, by the way, the adjusting screws for the changer. I don't have the cables, but that seems like a small detail. I'd think that bicycle brake cables, or something like them, would work fine.

Oh - and I do have the legs, but one of the leg sockets is stripped...

And it's gone! Thanks, everyone, for all the info. And Bob, a donation is coming your way.
