I finally took out my LBMP for a test spin last week. I thought I would look up some info about it…duh..never thought about coming here…

I also have the black and blue version. I bought it new…(yeah, I’m old too) and I’m sure it was in the 70s’

The “flip tone switch” either needs replacing or cleaning so I’ll give it a shot of contact cleaner.

One thing that I’ve never noticed are the two rivets that hold the battery clamp onto the battery compartment door, stick out far enough to make it wobble. I don’t ever remember having any trouble with that…Also while playing it today, I broke one of the battery wires but I know where it goes.

I have a lot of outboard gear but am not sure I want to let loose of this gem.

Anyway…I am just glad to have found another version like mine. I’ve searched on eBay, Youtube and this is the first place that I’ve seen this…

JUST FOR THE RECORD AS I AM SURE THIS HAS BEEN RESOLVED YEARS AGO, MINE HAS THE KNOB WITH THE POINTER ON IT TOO….
