Hello, The two 8-string decks are ready to go and sound terrific. They have Wallace True-tone pickups installed. I'd recommend them to anyone in the market! You can get a 10-string pickup from him as well. I have all the parts ( except for the pickup ) to use the 10-string... but I really have no id...

Just to let some people that'll give this old treat the respect it deserves. http://cgi.ebay.ca/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=260604522930&ssPageName=STRK:MESELX:IT#ht_500wt_1166 I figured people here would be most likely to be looking for one of these. If anyone has any questions, don't he...

Hey all, Just wanted to post this here before I go to Ebay... it's been a while, but I finally getting this up as I don't play this enough. I'm not much of a steel player, but got this as a project a few years back. I'm in need of some cash (grad school is wiping me), but would also consider a decen...

Hello to all who might be interested. I have a 50's model Console 518 Steel that I've been restoring, and have decided to part with. Need the cash and don't have the time to commit to it. It's a triple neck steel console with almost all parts included - only 1 out of 4 legs, original horseshoes were...

Does anyone out there know of a 10-string surround pickup mount that I could use for the Console 518?! I'm just about finished everything and still don't have a working idea for the 10-string pickup! I've dug around and haven't had much success, kept a close eye to all things available on ebay, aske...

Hey John, just wondering if you got a chance to check on that 10-string surround?

Blonde... although, I've seen a few pics around, i do have a little brunette-envy. But, don't tell that to the wife

Sorry. My mistake.... Incidentally, John, do you have any idea if the mounting plate from the 4000 series treble pickup would fit the 10-string on my Console 518? I'm thinking I'll just pick up some pickups to make due until I can find some good replacements...... If anyone could make a good suggest...

Actually, I was in contact with Rick already about some pickups for it. Rick and Jason Lollar got tangled in a lawsuit from John Hall and Rickenbacker for "trademark infringement" with the horseshoe pickups. I contacted Rickenbacker to see if they had intentions to produce the pickups them...

Does anyone know where I can get pickup parts for a Console 518 (8-10-8)? Or recommend some good pickups for it?

Someone removed it's electronics but it is otherwise in great shape. I need the pickup housings and all.

I'm wondering the same... What parts are left? Or do you even have it anymore?

I have a late `50's Console 518 that I'm looking for if anyone can help!
