Picked this tired old NYer on eBay a couple weeks ago. It was listed under category "flashlights" in case you missed it. Anyway, pretty bad shape, all glue coming apart, no inlays left, all binding cracked or gone. Basically it will be a complete rebuild. Should be interesting. Some photos. John

This will be a cool project.What kind of shape is the top in? Since you have a couple of these it could be a good piece to go electric with.

BTW...Howard told me today he may be getting a Gretsch amp in @Guru if your interested.

The top is in decent shape as is the back and sides. No breaks anywhere, but lots of coming apart. The wood is all shaped plywood. The seam down the middle of the back has opened a little and some ply is separating. Not sure where to start. J

That'll be a nice project. Good luck.

Cool! Simplicity.

Good luck! I now have one of these in my possession - not sure what to do with it - it needs help. Thinking of fixing it myself, but it's a bit daunting.
