Yeahorright, you win; that's better.
Way, way better.
You shouldn't have sucked on the headstock while thinking though.

I'm getting a quote for a Dual Tone logo haha...
Anyway, tone clip I believe this is the first thing that any self respecting Supro Dual Tone owner should play.

been on the workbench this morning. Took her over to slowy's on sunday and noticed one of the volume pots was no longer working
All looked ok but I stripped the wiring out to remake all the joints and test the pots, oil filled caps etc...
So the pots are all original from 1956
And the caps are still fine too, not bad for their age lol. Resoldered all the wiring and drew out the circuit, but it seems to be just a standard 2 vol, 2 tone pot circuit. pots all read about 270K
Put the neck pup back in reversed to try and brighten it a little but its still pretty dark, oh well, its great for woman tone lol.
Next on the bench is the tele, installing the ferrules. I should do some work but fuggit, missus is out all day, may crank an amp or two
