From banjo800 on 2/28/2014 1:47:08 PM

Anyone out there own one of these critters beside me? As I stated in my first post, I swapped out the pot assy with a Sullivan PRO2. Can anyone provide the dimensions of of the rim? I remember it was 11", but the thickness I can't remember. It was a nine ply rim best I remember. 5/8" seem right?

Also, I would like to restore this to the tubaphone style as I now have a RK-Scout for bluegrass picking. Anyone got a suitable pot for a reasonable price? Must be 11", 24 bracket, tubaphone tone ring. I have a request in to Rickards for a quote. Any others I should check?
