I bought it a couple of months ago and had wanted one for years. It didn't completely work initially, but I was able to determine it was the power supply with lots of help from people here. Hence the need to take it apart and meter it, and I thought a shot of it on the bench would be fun...

KH & I brought our 331's to CA last month - if you want to see the lights, video is the only way to go - photos just don't tell the story:

Should work fine if you have a mac, you'll need QT 7 for Windows...

Robert, at only post 334, you'll have plenty of time to save up for that 4005! Image

Kenny,

For some reason, I didn't know you bought that guitar the day after the drinking contest. That musta been one helluva road trip.

Kenny... looks like Christmas from my childhood. Cool 1970s incandescent light strings (in/on a guitar).

Kenny obviously with some expert help you have restored a classic guitar. Well done. It's not every day that the boss will help out an employee on a project.

It is plain to see that Rickenbacker is a great company managed by caring individuals who are not afraid to roll their sleeves up.

Thanks for sharing.

Kevin, I think the guitar was a day or two before that. Certainly the same weekend.
