model B case/ white tone knob

Post by flavour »

G'day all. Just wondering if anyone might know of a lonely original Rickenbacher case for a model b lap steel. I got my hand son one but it didn't have a case( I reckon the bakelites do growl more). And also was after a white "flying saucer" type tone control for a silver hawaiian. Cheers Jason

I posted a similar question here last year when I bought a B6.
I ended up buying a Gold Tone case from Elderly.
It fits almost perfect.

Oh.....not sure how I feel about that. Considering I just paid $350 to get a case made!! Oh well thats the way cookie crumbles. To be honest I gave up on my post and then.......whammo! Looks like a nice case( the goldtone one). I'm actually getting a full flight case made up over here in AUS. Ball corners aluminium frame etc so I can feel really confident when I move it from place to place. Anyways I really appreciate you reply. Cheers Jase

That is the case I bought.
The only thing that is not perfect about the size is...
The space carved out for the body is about an inch too long....I placed my polishing cloth in the space and it is AOK!
The space for the upper and lower parts of the body and the neck are PERFECT!
