Super 70 pickup

usedtobe

I have had an old Super 70 pickup come into my possession, but it is not working. Someone, clearly, has fiddled with it at some point. I have investigated, as well as I can, and both coils appear to be unresponsive. 

Is it worth giving it over to someone more able, to bring it back to life? I don't know where the breaks are in the coils, so it would be a total rewind job, potentially..

Or should I just bin it?

Talk to @TheGuitarWeasel, if you have no use for it I'm sure he would love to take a look at it and see how it's put together.

I suppose it depends on whether or not you like the sound the pickup makes, if you've never heard it then its potentially quite an expensive gamble?.....

I own a few of these and they can be a nice pickup. It could just be a dry joint or broken connection stick a meter on it and see what you get Also easy to open and test mine are not potted Jez

For gods sake don't bin it!!!!!!!!!!!

I will take a look at it for the price of postage ... and quote for repair for nowt. It may be something very simple.

These are stunning pickups, always wish I'd kept the one I had! Alnico 8 I think too.

They are indeed alnico 8 low PAF style wind ... quite unique ... er ... apart from my own 'Masterwound Bullet' humbucker which is a homage to that beast.
