WTB Period Correct Black Bell Knobs

[bubs_42]

I've been checking out some video of my 79 Standard on youtube. After I removed the Gregwinds from it i've been cleaning it up and noticed the knobs were not original. Look like they used to be Black Bells from the Video. Also the leads on the set of 79 Dimarzio Pups are short. They reach the cavity but not the pots. That kinda sucked but i'll make them work. Other than the knobs, short leads, and the Brass Nut its all original.

You can get any black bell knobs that have the numbers etched into the plastic from behind then painted (as opposed to the laser-printed or however they've been doing them the past 10 years or so. They'll be identical to the old ones.

Thanks Serial, but the Amber Knobs that are on it seem to be smaller shaft size than the Pot? How do I avoid that?

When I tried to buy that guitar in 1990, it had a set of original '50s PAFs in it. It was a few hundred less to buy it with DiMarzios.

Those were the days...

(sigh!)

When I got the guitar the Bridge Paf was long gone. It had a gibson 500T in the bridge and a Paf in the Neck that was dead. I passed the Paf to BCRGreg whom either repaired it or he mentioned he may have it rewound as a Gregwind.
