We recon its a prototype!
The full build plans are inside
And it's got a 1949 post stamp Leicester
Any clues???
Bacolite nobs
Any one now how to fix a busted tuner?
The two up turned hooks are bust off the hold the worm
Key in place.

My best bet is that it's european? it doesn't look like any american made lap steels -Valco(supro/McKinney/National/Oahu,Etc.) All american lap steels have big rounded sides on them, and those knobs are not original since they are radio knobs,all Valco knobs are flat w/ ridges on the sides.did U buy it from the states?

I will have it apart and have a nosey around
Sounds a bit like that other one...
Think I used it on steam hammer blues?

have U looked underneath the pickup? sometimes manufacturers stamp the company name/date on the bottom. definitely a student model,knobs are 40's-ish radio knobs,no markings in the control cavity?
