    That's a Model 1000 Rhythm Chief. I don't know the specs though, but I had one a long time ago. Mine eventually broke when it unglued itself. All I remember is it had really thin wire. Great sounding pickup.

          ThANKS !

          Thank you Sirs,
          what I read in the old forum scares me a bit but I have to unwind it to get behind the secret.
          A NICE WEEK TO ALL OF YOU PICKUP-SPINNERS !
          Cheers

                              ....

                              Can you tell me the height of the magnets and diameters of the fat magnets and the skinny magnets?
                              Harry DeArmond was a genius pickup designer, who would have ever thought of such an idea? Very cool design....
