That's a piss poor attitude....you'll test three diodes and find a pair!Despite my better judgment, I’m about to test about 100 ge diodes to find a matching pair… I hope

I was gonna warn you about that cap when you first posted the board. Looks like you got it handled.

DONE, finally wrapped this rascal tonight.
The Creamery guy said he'd send some screws the right length for my friend, but they never came.
My friend finally found the right screws for the pickups on his Tele, so we got rid of the surgical tubing and put in proper springs so he can lower the pups to where he needs 'em.
He's got a gig coming up, so he's just super-stoked to have his Tele back after a few months of it sitting in my basement waiting for the damn screws.
There's some weird corrosion & discolouration going on with the Creamery pup-covers. AND if you look at those pickup-height screws, they're COUNTERSUNK, so they stick up and aren't flush. SO... while they work, the hunt continues for the right screw with the correct head, thread-pitch and length.
While we had it apart I changed it to '50's wiring, but I forgot to take pics this time — I've posted pics of this guitar's guts before during our previous attempts to get the pups' height sorted. I managed to get the '50's wiring working right the first try and not burn/melt/scratch/damage anything. Each pot is a pull-switch for series/parallel and coil-splitting.
Pity about the pup-covers relic-ing themselves faster than the rest of the guitar — none of his other guitars have this problem.

Nothing as interesting as a Tele or Bass Rockman — stupidly complex Costco ceiling lamp was a ROYAL PITA to get down; had to dismantle much, all because that fat electrolytic got over-excited and spooged all across the lens. Hopefully that’s the only thing wrong with it.
Going to replace the spent cap, and if it works put the fugliness on upcycling — one person’s polished turd is someone else’s golden nugget. If anyone takes it, I’ll give them tips on installation, and let them know about the replaced cap and that its twin on the opposite side may soon wish to join its sibling in Diyu

No pic but I threw together the moonn ljzard gizzard whatever fuzz tonight. I cannot believe people paid 100 dollars for a mediocre Escobedo octave fuzz, let alone the saps who paid for the limited edition. It's not even Escobedo's best octave fuzz.
