Thanks Jason, now to try building one like it. I've just been working on my garden and fence. Its taken my energy and money for a couple of weeks. My achin back... I just got a new oldie in the mail today. Another lap steel. This one is a National of about the same vintage, maybe late 40s or early 50s. It's mother of toilet seat and needs some pup work. Hope I can get her howling. She has the same pup as the Special. Photos tomorrow perhaps...

Sorry James, I'm still without sound. I need a young tech to bring me through to the sound barrier. I record at a studio, but don't on my computer yet. It's in there, but I just don't know how. I need to try it...

Ya, Wes, this old pup is nice. It has the magnet on on end and a wood look a like on the other end. The magnet comes off when you open the plate on top. I've never taken one of these apart before. Very simple but effective.

This old Supro has the simplest wiring I've seen. When I replaced the old chord I found the pot to have three leads. A hot lead from the pup, a hot lead to the chord, a ground lead to the chord. That's it! The pot is grounded to the metal control plate just by it's attachment.
