After doing some additional online searching for parts (roller bridge and 4+2 tuners from Guitarfetish, about $45), I returned to the thrift store to buy the guitar...
And they'd already sold it! :cry:

Oh well, the next time I find one, I'll know that parts do exist, and I'll know not to hesitate.

Thanks for the input.]]> Guitar Repair and Maintenance kent_eh https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-repair-and-maintenance/teisco-silvertone-parts/#post-311780 https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-repair-and-maintenance/teisco-silvertone-parts/#post-311306 Mon, 13 Oct 2008 21:46:33 +0000
Nice find!

I have an old early 60's Harmony guitar - GREAT tone!

The one at the thrift store has a very odd trem/bridge system.
It doesn't match either of the other two.
Not saying that it isn't one of those.... just that they seem to have a variety of trem/bridge options.

There is a new Harmony guitar company that makes some of the vintage guitars.
You could prob. pick up a set of Klusons from them....

Here's one of the vintage models - not what you're looking at, though perhaps you could see if that trem and bridge will
work on the one you're looking at....?

(If this link is just a general one, the guitar I was looking at was the H-82 Rebel)

Good luck,
and keep us posted if you do get it (I would.... vintage Silvertones are going for 600-900 bucks these days, as well
as being darn COOL!)

It's cheap enough to buy as a fun repair project, but I'm wondering where to get parts.
Does anyone make reproduction or compatible parts these days, or would I have to find someone with another one to strip for parts?

Here's the guitar body and head

Clearly, if I do this, I'll need at least 1 tuner, and a bridge. If I want it to look original, I'd also need a trem cover.

Any ideas?]]> Guitar Repair and Maintenance kent_eh https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-repair-and-maintenance/teisco-silvertone-parts/#post-33663
