Hand Rest/Guard for 70s 4001 Question

Yes, that sounds like a plastic one. If it were metal, I'd imagine it would be a formed sheet metal, which would be smooth on the bottom. One could cast metal and put the ribs on it, but that would cost a lot more than forming sheet metal.

..yes, he was looking for one to use as an example to replicate it, but, surprisingly, nobody stepped up to the plate!

I remember a forumite saying that he was going to send one to JH, but I have the feeling that he didn't send it.

Oddly enough, I have a vague memory of actually seeing one sometime way back. Probably sometime in the 70's back when I used to play lots of gigs, I seem to remember comparing my '74 4001 with someone else and noting the plastic vs. metal cover.

But, that was a while ago, and maybe I just dreamed it...
