sorry, can't help myself....every time you post that bass......Here's to warmer days..............
It's shagging cold here in Seattle.
Hey guys!
Just got my first Tbird! It’s a Greco Thunderbird. The sound is excellent!
I’m looking to return it to stock wiring and replace the tuners to its original status. Does anyone know what size tuners these Greco’s take or maybe have a recommendation on a wiring harness?
Also, does anyone know where to get a replacement Greco TRC? The gold foil has rubbed off mine and would love to have a more prominent TRC.
Any help is greatly appreciated!

Yeah, not as rare as they think.
I don’t there was a wiring harness. Just stuff soldered point to point.

Congratulations! Greco's are highly regarded here, not sure the tuning machines but @Engle can likely help out with the TRC.
That's a great score, let me know if you'd like a club number
It’s wired with a pickup selector switch and one volume/tone. I’d like to try and bring it back to original. I suppose I could just grab (250k or 500k?) pot and rewire it.
Awesome! I look forward to their response. Thank you so much!Congratulations! Greco's are highly regarded here, not sure the tuning machines but @Engle can likely help out with the TRC.

Sure, I’ll take a number
No Thunderbird, but a nice gig yesterday anyway.
Two Rumble combos chained and my -71 Greco P did the job.

That would be fairly normal here.
If no one chimes in knowing the value I’ll check mine. I’m guessing 500k, and yes, seems to be standard VVT.
I owned one Ford. A Lincoln Navigator. By far the biggest POS we’ve ever had.
But if I ever had the opportunity and cash, I wouldn’t mind that one.
I don’t know. I have not seen many pre 80’s lately, much less a II. It’s in nice shape.
Congratulations! And welcome. That’s a nice one.
