Framus S10

[JohnDavisStringsHere]

I have this Framus S10 Basket case that I am trying to bring back to life, If I succeed I figure it will be about £600 But if I don't it will be cheaper it has the potential of 5 pedals and maybe 3 knee levers though I will prob only connect 3 floor pedals.......

Watch this space >>>>

This guitar is a bereavement sale the proceeds of which will go entirely to the lady that owns it.
I received it as a basket case but now happy to say I am almost ready to get a tune out of it. The tuning pegs are a work of (engineering) art! I wish they would fit my Emmons , if you look close you can see how you can clamp the string before you tighten it. Although an old guitar, I reckon its more than a cut above any student guitar it has been engineered with German precision. I confess the mech. is still something of a mystery to me but I have enough understanding to get it working.
Here are a few pics to go on with.........

Here is a link to some video to prove it works, and I think for a quick sale the lady concerned would be happy with £550 for this great little guitar........

Have you got Sellotape over the lens of the camera?

[JohnDavisStringsHere]

No David, I have a Fender cab blocking the light I think that is why its blurred..

If my memory serves my correct David , many years ago you played one of these machines!

[David Hartley]

I don't think it's that, but it might be auto focused on something else.
Try focusing it manually on the steel and turning off auto focus.

David you could be right.... I took it off the tripod and took the battery out shook it a couple of times put it back and its working again..... have no idea what was wrong with it

Perhaps the camera was crying ??
