Gonna be re-chroming some horsies and they're likely
to loose gauss.
Anyone know how to re magnetize them? Sergio? Paul? Dale?.....

It was posted here in one of the sections once before...you could try a search for it? Probably in the pickup section I'd guess...

I seem to remember the shoes are taken off and hooked up to a powerful magnet such as on a welder or a big speaker perhaps? I forgot...but it is something like that....and then you leave it on there for a day or so.

I saw somewhere here where one member had fitted them to each side of a speaker cone.....

two big neo magnets will do it. watch you fingers with it!

Atsushi Yoshida, where are you?

Not a horseshoe, but I had Lindy Fralin remagnetize my '68.

With 'shoes and a hammer in hand, make a trip to the Earth's magnetic North Pole. It's in Canada, somewhere. If you get lost, stop at Peter McCormack's place for a sandwich and directions. Once you get to the Pole, give the 'shoes a good smack with the hammer and you'll be set.

Watch out for the polar bears, though...

Hehehe

Too late , sorry about that...

Hey Atsushi! Where have you been?

You only have to wave a soldering iron, or fart near them and they will lose gauss!
emac.

stick inside big welder coils, short welder leads, few minutes or so?
