Way you describe the pickup, it sounds possibly like those that came on my first Teisco electric and my brother's Sears Silvertone. These were constructed of a flat bobbin/coil with a flat magnet sitting flush right in the center of the bobbin and six little metal disk polepieces glued directly onto the magnet. A chromed metal cover with holes for the disks sat over the top. If so, I've repaired similar pups by glueing a broken magnet without problems.]]> Guitar Repair and Maintenance gnease https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-repair-and-maintenance/broken-magnet/#post-52286 https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-repair-and-maintenance/broken-magnet/#post-52285 Fri, 23 Apr 2004 22:13:45 +0000 i went ahead and superglued the magnet together, it was the only thing i could think of to do to try to salvage it. it cant hurt, i suppose. i'm potting them now to see if that makes any difference. if none of that works, ill just replace them. i'd like to get something that will retain the vintage sound. any suggestions?]]> Guitar Repair and Maintenance buboes https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-repair-and-maintenance/broken-magnet/#post-52285 https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-repair-and-maintenance/broken-magnet/#post-52284 Fri, 23 Apr 2004 09:40:02 +0000

Changing Bar magnets from Project Guitar

Does it still work with it broken? imagine it sounds rather unique if it does.]]> Guitar Repair and Maintenance DaveC https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-repair-and-maintenance/broken-magnet/#post-52282 https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-repair-and-maintenance/broken-magnet/#post-52281 Thu, 22 Apr 2004 18:34:52 +0000 Guitar Repair and Maintenance Anonymous https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-repair-and-maintenance/broken-magnet/#post-52281 https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-repair-and-maintenance/broken-magnet/#post-52280 Thu, 22 Apr 2004 16:34:34 +0000 Guitar Repair and Maintenance DaveC https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-repair-and-maintenance/broken-magnet/#post-52280
