The Steel Guitar Forum

I'm a brand newbee. I'm trying to gear up and got a "deal" on an old Goodrich light operated VP. It seems to be all there, but I'd like to make it 100%. I've searched here and found some contact info for Goodrich, but I'm getting "the number you have reached....." message. I'd like to know what bulb it takes, so I can get a spare, and it needs new feet, which I'm sure can be generic. Has anyone dealt with them recently? I'd like to get this thing fired up; I've read a lot of good feedback about them.

from what i understand Erik, that model is'nt made anymore & Goodrich does not service them
if you want a product that is backed up by the builder, you can get a Hilton
now if you got mucho $$$, go for Telonics
otherwise, the standard Goodrich 120 pot pedal has been a mainstay

The bulb in my goodrich model 6402 Pedal is S757.
Should be a standard number.
hope that helps.

Is this the stereo model? I had a lot of trouble with that one in studios. But I have two 120s, one modded with the resistor so the treble doesn't bleed off. Love them!

Those bulbs used to be available at auto parts stores and were the same as what used to be used as interior lights in cars- cost a couple of bucks.

Thanks for the info on the bulb. I was hoping to get some more info from Goodrich on the optical light letter inner thingy that allows light into the CDS cells. this one looks pretty shady, and I thought maybe I could replace it. Also, this dude was only about half assembled when I bought it. I think I got her back together right, but I'm not completely convinced.
This is not the stereo version BTW. It's the one with the tone pot on the side.
