| Trading bobbin info (Your Vintage P-90, my 58-59 PAF)
Would anyone here be willing to trade some bobbin info? Does anyone here have a vintage P-90 bobbin, or have notes from when the took one apart? I'm looking for three main measurements: Coil Height Coil Former Width Coil Former Length. If you are interested, I'm willing to trade the spacing from either my PAF slug bobbin or PAF screw bobbin. Message me if you are interested. b. |

Hmm I looked through that thread and saw where he mentioned the bobbin outside measurements, but not the inside measurements. Thank you though - cool thread!

| me old un.
Hi Belwar and you other guys. I cant add too much about this pickup unless I shread it and as it does not mean value too me that could be done. Interesting bits are that the bobbin is 3 piece. top/bottom looks like old old forbon and the centre which I cannot see is placed in between and brass rivets between the outer pairs of polescrews hold it together. The two magnets are as near to anything I have read as to being the same mags used in pafs, and the keeper bar poss the same. My knowledge of Gobsin pickups is zilch and not my territory so, sorry Spence it's going in the post bruv and you pull it to pieces and make the info available as this must be antiquity, and needs to be recorded. Must be worth sacrificing for that rather than it being a museum piece.

| p90 / p13
No David i'm talkin bout a p90. It's the one on the top of the wikipedia page. Belwar, my reason for sending to Spence would be the same as my reason for sending it to Sam Lee guy. Little much not known,, but those two have spent a lot of bread over the years buying up vintage pickups and tearing them apart to get the info. Which is why they both poduce frightening pickups. Lots of metal testing and tracking origonal material sources and not relied on info from others, which is why they both ask very few questions. Spence will hack it down and I'm sure he will share the answers with all even if it has been got at or whatever, although I don't think so.

Righto Jonson. I'll get the big hammer out! Who's Sam Lee Guy? Why he's a little Chinese fella who make pickups with noodles. You can read all about him in a fabulous book called Yellow River by I.P. Daley. |

I have the pickup here now. I have a feeling it's a little more vintage than you might be wanting Belwar but I'll take all the measurements if you like.
