G'day all. Still looking for the plastic face plates for a pre war model B. I think this is close to being an impossible task however I will put it out there again. Thanks for your input Richard, much appreciated. If anyone can help let me know. Cheers J

G'day all. Just trying to track down some covers(white) for my Ric. The two large ones have shrunk and cracked so I need some replacements. Cheers J

Sorry forgot to mention that that price is in Australian dollars. $1800 AU. Cheers

1936 Rickenbacher Model B for sale. Nice clean example. Pot has been changed( original comes in case). One tuning machine has also been changed a fair while back I would suggest, its a grover and the plate is slightly different to the rest.....they all work nicely. Old case is long gone so I had a ...

......I reckon the seller would have thought it was orgasmic! He got some pretty good dollars for that particular guitar....without a case. Oh well,it gave us a topic. Cheers

I love this forum!! Cheers Johno. Thanks for letting me know! Will let you all know how my model B polishes up. Jase

Good on ya fella's. I will try to track down some of this Zymol. I'm sure it will be under another name over here but I will check tomorrow. Cheers Jase

Thanks mate. I have become a little obsessed with these lap steels and its always interesting to see what the various ones sell for. We have extremely limited sellers over here in Australia which is a little frustrating. Anywyays to follow up on what you said......yes I saw a model B(1936) close to ...

Just womdering if anyone has seen the 1935 Rickenbacher Model B lapsteel(listed like that) on ebay. I thought it was a little humourous. The seller has massive wraps for it and states its in "mint" condition. I think the seller thought it was a fry pan. It has star head scews on the name plate, 3 on ...

G'day all. Does anyone have a suggestion for cleaning bakelite, as in polish to bring it back to life. Is there a cut and polish of some sort? Cheers Jase

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 ...

G'day Richard( and anyone else who cares!! :D ) . As promised, here are some photo's of my silver hawaiian. Just keen to find out what year do you think it may have been manufactured. All the siver hawaiians I have seen have black and white knobs and a metal head plate......and this one has the ...

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

G'day Richard. Thanks for the tip on the tuning machines. The specs were perfect and the longer posts will be very welcome indeed. I have tried to put some photos of my Silver Hawaiian up, but my attempts have failed. I think I need to compress the files......or something! Also could you please let ...

G'day all and happy new year!! Just wondering if anyone can tell me what would be the best tuning machines to get for my silver hawaiian.The old one were three on a plate made by Kluson MFG co. The plate is 4 2/4" long, 1 3/8" from centre of post to post, post is 1" long and 6/32" diameter. I got ...
