There are no words except to say I'm sorry to hear this. There's nothing else I can say.
OMG So sorry Mike. Take care - will be thinking of you
Mike, I’m so sorry to hear this news. My heart and prayers go out to you and other loved ones left behind.

In the case that I have for it, it would not fit in that car!
It has instead, given in to the choice vehicle of Soccer Moms.
I’m very sorry Mike. You have my deepest condolences.
This is the before pic from above:

Full, round, rich sidewinder humbucking tone as was originally intended. Pure awesomeness. Thank you George!
Reminds me of “the Rotolactor”. We went there on a school excursion when I was in primary school - may 7 or 8yo at a guess.
Big round building that would automatically milk 50 cows at once while feeding them at the same time.
Now I live maybe 15 mins from where it was, then > 1hr on the bus.
According to the info below, they used to do 2,000-2,500 cows a day on it. Twice a day I think.
It was the 3rd in the world, the farm owner saw one in the US and thought “I must have one!”
The Rotolactor, a Menangle milking marvel
The Rotolactor was Menangle’s milking marvel. A rotating dairy that was a tourism attraction and an example of industrial modernism on the colonial property Camden Park estate.

Now there’s a birth year bird I can’t afford!
i can so see you as a soccer mom. That would be at least three hoots!In the case that I have for it, it would not fit in that car!

Our childhoods were very similar. Filed trip to DairyMart Farms when I was about 7 to see how they milked the cows, bottled the milk, made the ice cream and the like. It was located in San Diego’s Mission Valley. About five miles from the school and our neighborhood. Of course it’s now long gone. Condos, shopping centers, and the usual urbanization replaced it.Reminds me of “the Rotolactor”. We went there on a school excursion when I was in primary school - may 7 or 8yo at a guess.

Thanks for posting, Marshall, I don't think either of mine are period correct, so a rewire or two may well be on the horizon.
You should hear George’s ‘79. It’s a monster with a brass nut. When we initially compared the two through George’s Thunderfunk/Berg rig, I wanted to cry. Mine sounded so weak. But it’s all fixed now!
gotta love CA.....SV in the background....
hard to tell without a reference.....but then again, it may be possible to make the miswired tone sound very good with EQ or just gain (in the case of a weak output), who knows, so many knobs.........
Yeah. It was ok through my rigs after dialing them in. I use high gain settings as a general rule. Now it sounds so much better.
Mine seems to be correct. What was the reason for this mod some have, makes them darker and thicker? Parallel (stock) makes them clearer, more open sounding and balanced overall? Do I have that right?
