Hi,
I picked up a 60's Hawaiian 100 series lap steel at a thrift store today. It needs a few parts including the tone knob, the tuner knobs (which literally disintegrated in my hands) and the logo for the headstock (good luck with that one I assume...). I'd like to get original parts if possible but will settle for aftermarket if I have to. Any ideas on where to find this stuff?
Thanks a bunch!
Bret

Welcome to the Forum, Bret.
I no longer have my H-100, but it dated to 1959 (based on the date codes on the tone control pots - it had no date code on the jack plate and a non-informational serial number stamped into the wood of the body) and it didn't have a headstock logo, rather it had a metal "Rickenbacker" name plate on the side:
The knobs will depend on the year. Mine had the old "radio knobs". I'm not certain, but I think that the three-in-line tuners are still available. Hopefully, one of the resident experts on these will chime in soon. Good luck with the restoration!
