Bill Roberts Musical Instrument and Electronic Repair

A couple of vintage beauties. Every wear mark and patina naturally made from decades of playing. Fender Precision, on the left 1972 and 1968 on the right. The ‘72 has undergone a refret but other than that all original. The ‘68 is 100% all original.

Did a preservation repair ‘73-‘75 Gibson Les Paul Custom. The goal here was to repair damage done by moisture getting into the case and improve the look of a previous headstock repair as well as deep dings and wear to the back of the neck. Not to refinish the guitar in any way. To that end I am happy with the result.

Refurbished this 1960’s Shin-ei UniVibe. Had leaking and bulged capacitors. Recapped and upgraded to 3 prong plug.

Edit: So I found this info today:

The "SM-NO" stamp on the bottom of these pedals refers to the date. For example: the stamp "SM NO 49.2" is the 2nd month of the 49th year of the Shōwa era. The Shōwa year count in Japan started in 1926 (year 1), so year 49 is 1974.

So the pedal is not from 1960’s but this particular unit is from 1974.
