Yea! I think the original lister only hadnt powered it correctly it has no other symptoms. Luckily it is almost certainly just the toggle switch itself so should be an easy fix , and while its disassembled a good opportunity to clean it off. Its too cool lot of fun to be had

Nice! Sometimes battle scars on vintage pedals add character, and in this case they definitely do! I wonder if there is only a broken wire, or if the switch itself can be cleaned somehow.

My Schaller TR68 Tremolo has two matching potentiometer knobs now (the aluminium cover was taken from the recently acquired Schaller KV 10 amplifier, from the one knob that had it still attached). It looks much better and complete this way! Also, both knobs have the same degree of marks and scratches, consistent with the heavily used look of the pedal. :geek:
