| Why is it that now I have a suspicion I will be collecting as many as possible before long? It's due to arrive Monday, and I'm ordering the amp from Musicians Friend on Wednesday. I can't wait! | |

yeah my first T-40 had flat "blade" style switches if I remember correctly. Did Peavey make two types, or is this a tell-tell sign of replacement work? | |

| Oooh, careful now, Viktor loves those flat switches Not a sign of replacement work at all. There were/are two different types of pickup selector/phase switches. Peavey used the original flat/blade type switches for the pickup selector and phase until around 1983 or so. Then they switched to the round/baseball bat type. The change started to show up when the blade pickups started, although there are some instances where the "old" switches were paired with the "new" pickups. Just a crossover. | |

| Yep. Scott's right. After Chip left Peavey you start seeing the transition from toasters to blades, flat switches to bat switches, metal nuts to plastic nuts, et c. I've seen originals with several variations and combinations of all these. | |

| Tony, I use Photobucket. When you upload a picture there, there are several icons underneath each pic, stating which format you would like to use. Copy the "IMG Code" and just paste the link here and it will show up. It's that simple. I'm sure there are other ways to post pics here but that's the one that's easiest for me. BTW, I'm embarrased The neck FINALLY got in the mail to you, you should have it early next week. I'm sorry it has taken so long. | |

| You don't need to see a shrink. Pocket the shrink money and buy yerself another T-40. I can think of far worse things to be spending money on that vintage American made instruments. Keeps me out of the bars but I go to the pawn shops way more often that I should. | |

| You and I are lucky men. We both have women that truly understand our obsession with these instruments. | |
