Need older Sho~Bud volume pedal restored.

[Tim Harr]

I have an old Sho~Bud volume pedal that is scratched and oxidized.

Who do we all know that can restore this ? (removing/buffing out the scratches, polishing, new rubber foot pad, black lettering, new pot, etc, etc)

Tim,

The tricky part will be finding a new pot, assuming that the existing one can't be cleaned.

I am in the process of of refurbing mine and couldn't find a pot anywhere! Bradshaw is out of them and he told me he didn't know of anyone who had one.

I found this on ebay : https://www.ebay.com/itm/234517392932?_ ... 7Ciid%3A14

It has not arrived yet, but it should work okay it is new old stock and it is a 500K J like the one I pulled out, only no stop internally.

I cleaned mine up with Mothers Mag polish, about an hour or so of rubbing, no bigee. Cleaned the rubber with ST100 motorcycle washing spray.

It turned out decent for a 45 year old pedal.
















If you decide on the DIY route, here is how the string goes, I use fishing fly line. Not a very difficult project.






Good luck,

John

Need to see about these scratches

Need to see about these scratches

Yeah, I see, that is going to require sanding and then some time on a buffing wheel!
It won't be cheap if you do find somebody!

You might try Jeff Surrat over at SHOW~PRO.

Good luck!

That is why I like my clip on so much!

If you want a nice SHO~BUD clip on Wayne Dahl has one for sale on this forum. As I recall, it was reasonably priced.

I would be using this for 6 string electric guitar

Hey John did that pot you linked work out ok? I have a dead Bud pedal and need to replace the pot. Hoping this is the solution.

Thanks!
