Rickresource Rickenbacker Forum

.

I'm assuming not, since I've googled "Harvey / Rickenbacker" to no avail.......

As you can see (barely, as the compression program I used really compressed these images..) on its back, it says "Made in USA Harvey"

?

What do you think?

That's an original pu to you '71.

I've had at least one original pre-73 bridge pu with "Harvey" on it. I believe it has to do with the aluminum rather than the make of the pu.

IIRC, Sergio's 21fretter is a "Harvey" too.

NICE!! Writing on the aluminum plate is not uncommon.I have a 72 with writing on it in fact.Those plates were cut from aluminum stock so prolly just manufactures stamp for the stock.No worries you have a real Rick bridge pickup there. Wanna sell it HMNNNNNNN????? LOL

Yep, that writing on the aluminum is from the aluminum manufacturer, Harvey Aluminum, Established in Los Angeles in 1914...

Richard, if you use a Windows based PC, use PixResizer - it is free and foolproof. I can use it.

Resize to about 400 x 600 or so and you will fit the forum size requirements.

Now I'm confused, it looks just like my 72, but sergio says the only original parts of mine are the top and bottom bobbin plates??
