Regaussing

Post by pflash4001 »

Hi guys. Let me start off by saying that you all have been a tremendous source of information. Now, I wonder if you can help me again. My '64 4001 is now in San Antonio being worked on. Before I sent it in, I checked the horseshoe pickup and the magnet seems to be REALLY weak. I don't think it is going to have much output. Is there anyone who can re-gauss the pickup? Someone referred me to Jason Lollar and I emailed him a few times and have gotten no response. Thanks for anything you guys can offer.

even when the horseshoe has a full charge it is a weak magnet ...

Yeah, what Jeff says is really true.

You could try regaussing it anyway, but don't expect for a second it'll be as hot as a high-gain except with a '60's vibe.' Image
