Been thinking about this again (another sleepness night). The die used in the machine to stamp this out can't have been broken otherwise more material, not less, would be left. If it was broken and then repaired (die heads aren't cheap to make so repairing it makes sense, toolmakers are skilled craftsmen) then there would be more material in the tuner head. I'm going with a different die was made and perhaps they were looking to align this with something else. I will now do my best not to think about this as I walk the dog. Rob

More than happy to take it off your hands at a "load of junk" price if you want Absolute beauty as already said. I love little things like this 'notch'. I doubt I'd ever notice it if it wasn't for other people....

I would expect early 60s metalwork to be stamped out on a machine. These are fairly cheaply made with bent over tags to lock the barrels on. That's not a comment to annoy people but a reflection on how things were done then Whilst you could mill them, the costs would be 50-100x the cost of stamping and bending. Cheap CNC did not exist in the 60s. I would assume a different stamping machine did the tiny notch and these could be just a different die used at the time. It could have been designed to fit against something else for orientation and Leo did a deal. Or it could be something else. Rob

I'd actually hope it isn't enigmatic for that sort of money...

This is Bev. She's a really good drummer and allows me to jam with her and wreck her timing.

We're just looking at a lovely eight string, a few Warmouths, some old Fenders. Enjoy the house work 😄

Today's the day. It's gorgeous here in Clapham. Currently 9C expect high of 20C. Not a cloud in the sky. Finiahing my coffee and will open up the village hall.

He has cut down...

I'm trying to work out if this is actually an issue or not. I know nothing about Rickenbackers apart from Macca and Lemmy played them. I keep hearing that the bridge is difficult but surely after all these years they must have fixed this problem? Or is it just a running joke that nobody does adjust them? Thanks Rob

Have they a cheap 62 Jazz as well?

@neepheid We'll take everything I can find in the house. We'll make it work one way or another. Rob

Ron All help welcomed but it's chairs and tables so it's not a.massive amount of work. However it would be good to see you and you then get the advantage of an empty (ish) hall to play in 😊 I have asked if the lady I jam with will come and bring her mobile drum kit. Her main drum kit appears to be larger than John Bonhams set from LZ 😊

Food now sorted. I've arranged for a special tea delivery for @ossyrocks from Farrers Tea & Coffee merchants in Kendal, they're sending a local van just for me, and a local dairy farm has helped chip in with milk. The village hall will be open from around 08:00 for people to get in. Will anybody apart from myself (and possibly @neepheid) be coming at that time? The intention is to finish around 16:00 (ish) as I have to be in York later than evening. Rob

You are correct that most will be, I hadn't considered that, but how are Ofcom going to know? If they develop a Web crawler, does it respect the robots.txt file? This is going to be very difficult for them to police.
