NPD - Teisco ET-460

Post by Orang Goreng » Mon May 04, 2009 10:30 am

So, after I showed my friend my recently-acquired Hsin Mi, she pulled this out of her parts bin... she got it from a trash can ages ago. It lacks a neck (see "wanted" section ;)), but almost all other parts are there. Most of them are fucked. I took it with me to see if I can fix it up for her. Knowing myself, this is probably going to take years, but still. Extending the fun is good!

Are you going to keep the finish? :P

Fix it, leave the finish, and wear a clown nose while playing it.
















Seriously though. Do the pickups work?

Well, it's not mine...I'm giving it back to my friend if I manage to fix it. So I won't really get to play it.

But the pickups... the two back ones read about 7 kOhm, the two front ones around 15 kOhm. It's a bit weird, but hopeful. I think this thing has been rained upon or something, because the original switches and the replacement pots are all rusted. They will need to be replaced, which is a bit of a shame as I can't easily imagine transplanting those awesome slider knobs to another type of switch.

It's all very early anyway.
