Tele Bass, yes. Tele Guitar, no. Worst thread ever.

Wow, a Revox!!  Drool-worthy in an unashamed nerdy sort of way.

Is that fully working or just eye candy?

That's a fully operational G36 MkIII, It could do with an overhaul but finding NOS heads is proving difficult, lovely old thing though.

Indeed it is. Have a well-deserved Wow.

Metal Telecasters (Steelcasters) need more appreciation.

I hope that's tone steel ;-)

I thought I had a spare head but I can't find it.  I've got a spare tape counter, a bearing and a couple of what I presume are sensors, possibly for end of tape, if it does that. Two of them, in Revox bags with part numbers.  

Are your bits for dale by any chance?

I can sympathise. When I first saw that there was a Fretboard Challenge I assumed the challenge was to post photos in less than five attempts...........

Some lovely stuff here. No piccies but I have a 2007 Fender AVRI in red with cream binding. Bought new with my first serious paypacket and still going strong now. Longest I have ever owned a guitar................. I think could do with a little fettling soon though, just a set up and maybe a check up on the electrics. Any point in this S1 switching?

That must count for something!

Are you Zaphod Beeblebrox or Richard E Grant by any chance?

Thankfully not - who'd want to shave twice?

Sale?  Yes, sure.  I don't have a G36 anymore but still have these few bits. Let me look a bit longer though and see if I can find a spare head (tape machine, not human).  That would be the prize item.  It wasn't with the other bits but pretty sure I had one.  I'll PM either way once I've looked some more.

Cool, if its a half track play head I will defo take it off you, I don't need the end of tape stops but the tape counter would come in handy, I am on holiday soon so cash is rare, can you hold tight till I get back?

springhead

They're going nowhere else!

robgilmo

Cool! Let me know if you find the head.

Or grow two beards for that matter.

Here is a thought guys, and a silly one at that, but does playing a Tele influence the kind of music you listen to? I have never listened to  Booker T. & the MGs before in my life, but a search on Mr Cropper, who plays a Tele brought them up, and Im enjoying them immensely!
