Whats wrong with this picture?

Hi all!
I've spied this one the bay and it does not look quite right:

Note the earlier type surround, small magnet (possibly ceramic bar magnets) the pole pieces look "funny" and the wiring is just not standard looking. Is it off a faker?

The pole pieces are not the semi spheres that they should be, I think..

It's a RI surround with a 70/80's bobbin in it by the looks of things...

I'm with Wints. It would be worth just the surround!

Ok... But what about the metric philips screw (note the dot) and the small magnet?
I know the screw could be changed and there is a metric one that almost fits but the magnet?
But if it's the real thing (or several real things) good luck to the seller and buyer

That's not a Rickenbacker pickup, period.

If Sergio has called it then that's good enough for me!

Ever seen one like this before Sergio?

Sergio has spoken.

Hi Bob/guys! Yes, I've seen that very type of treble pickup before on 4001 copies, both "in the flesh" and on the Web.
