I just reread the Rickenbacker Book by Bacon&Day and came across the paragraph where they state that after having employed up to 100 people in the heyday from ´65 to ´68 there were three consecutive bad years with the nadir in ´71 when at some time there were only 8 people working for Rickenbacker. I know the company has always been rather small, but 8 people working on the guitars and basses? Can anybody confirm this or dispel the myth if it is one?
