A friend of a friend in Chicago ran across this... Does anyone recognize from whence it came?

it's from a harlin bros. multikord. There is a volume and tone pot along with a dowah button. On mine, there is an impedance matching transformer between the pickup and the electronics.

Well, that solves that mystery! Thanks guys, I'll send the word along.

Jeremy, that might also explain why he measured very low DC resistance on the pickup's coil. That transformer must be an integral part...
