will post a pic tomorrow kit 456 am here now in melbourne im zpent bed now zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

Kit this is how all my knobs are when the pots are all at zero volume is at 5pm tone is at 7pm and sustain is at 10am

ohh i pasted your url in my browser and got the page but still looking for what you were refering to kit

Indeed kit indeed, i may sooner or later make a litte film with it running through my ole musicman rd 50, might use my
epiphone crestwood deluxe and see what she sounds like with this.

Ive already had a little test of her at around 2.00 am Australian time, thats where iam from, and she sounded ok so far, but not loud enough to tell, just wanted to see all worked the three pots work as well volume, tone, and sustain all are great the only one thing to note is the pots are real tight, can you believe ive not even sprayed these pots or the switch as yet and it all still works, i guess you got to get lucky sometimes, suprises me i never fixed this sooner.

I got some original dakka ware knobs for her too but dam they all fit really badly the pointers are all over the shop, all accept the tone knob thats the only one which points correctly.

Doh i think ive got the battery leads around the wrong way ok back to the soldering station im sure i got to get it right sooner or later

Ohh and by the way the code at the back of the tone pot read as follows 1377714
XM2184

Well im off to the local shops to get a good ole carbon battery the only thing i like about 24 hour trading is when i need to use the store

Hi Kit Rae, and everyone who has assisted me in here, a heart felt thankyou to you all…

The story of this muff is it was bought in about 1999, 2000 when i got it of evilbay, it was evedent this muff needed more then 9volts to bring it back to life.

I handed it off to an old tech who had acquired parts for it, and then went cold on finishing the job.

Sinse then, it sat in the cupboard untill now, i forgot i even had the thing, untill i was looking for another fuzz pedal on the bay, an missed out on it as i was not around for the auction end.

it was a tonebender /fuzz face clone, in one of those mini cases carls guitars i think sell them?

well i went digging in the cupboard for something else, and there she was a decade later same way i left her, sinse then you guys have seen the pics and here is the parts i have with it, along with a reciept i will just copy down whats on the reciept maybe kit you will know if these parts are ok ?

4X b548 low noise s/s amp npn z1319 this is whats printed on it bc548 think these are 539 equiv?
B
-126
DIODE 4X 1N4148 SMALL SIGNAL Z3120

2 x CAP ELECTRO rt 1.0 uf 350wv R4015 has 1uf 100v printed on it ricon light blue colour

1 x cap electro rt 10.0 uf 63wv R4065 HAS 1O uf 63 v printed on it small barrell fits on thumb nail

thats about all the info i have.

I think i will just start with cleaning out spray lubing the switch, and pots, though the volume pot seems a little tight to turn, may have to spray it a little extra and wait a few days then try and turn it again..

Bought some original dakka ware knobs for her last night so thats covered

will have to replace d2 diode with i think the one ove listed above re terminate the battery clip clean the tracks a little on the board and see if all looks ok from there will just put it back together install battery and try it if she dont work then i guess step two then

hmmm looks like a cts pot 137 a little like the stratocaster pots in the 60’s but not the same the center on this is some sort of nylon not brass.

Yep thats the way to date stuff by the pot codes

i just never thought this muff had pot codes on it as i never bothered to look

does anyone know if i can get nos stock of this d2 diode at all as id prefer it to the reissue stuff if possible

what are those dakka knobs worth as well?

hmmm ive cleaned the muff up with some lighter fluid on a soft rag this seems to have removed all the unwanted dna and now she dont look to bad at all.

the bottom of my case is finished i na textured kind of finish like fake leather or vinyl but on metal casing looks original as well

Is there any cleaner i can use for the board as well im not sure about lighter fluid on the board as its old so iam not sure what to use any ideas
