It's the memory man. It's bit rusty but it may work.  :lol:

It begs the question why you were digging around in a skip?

But nice find!

Nice find indeed.

I might go digging in skips now!
I think I hate being indecisive.

I thought it would be worth looking into getting repaired if it didn't work. I need a delay so it might work out ok.  :D

I drive Skip Lorrys in London for a living Dave. Well it's better than getting White line fever on the motorways all day trunking.

We recently had a customer who found a Marshall 2 x 12 18W that was going into a skip!

I used to find a few bits. I found a Yamaha keyboard in the box, that worked ok. An Encore strat. It was shite though. Two very cheap practise amps and two acoustics that were pretty good. I gave a lot of it away. One of the acoustics was a kids sized one. I cleaned it up and gave it to one of girls who works in our office and she gave it to her 9 year old lad. He has taken to it like a duck to water and performed in from of his school around 4 or 5 times. I did have an acoustic in the cab of the lorry with me for around 18 months and practised on my breaks.
I don't see so much now as there are gangs of scavengers that go through skips, bins, peoples gardens and sheds ect. They even scavenge bricks. I thought I was poor! :lol:

Good score !  :)

If mounting your dustbin / skip finds on the pedalboard, do remember to put this one after the Tuna.

Wow - that looks really old! Looks like a late 70s one to me, I'm not an expert though.

I've got an old Little Big Muff from the 70's too.

Does anyone know what sort of power input these are? Like, voltage and polarity?
