Just got my old Thomas Organ Co. wah back today..BIG disappointment!
I bought it back around 1981-ish, and never could really use it as it was noisy as HELL when switched on, so I shelved it and kind of forgot about it.
Then in the 90's I scored one of the Dunlop reissues which works great, and then my brother found another Dunlop someone had tossed in the trash and gave it to me..It also works great! I have no idea why someone threw it away..
Anyhoo, after reading here on the forum about some of the great drop-in replacement boards being offered nowadays I decided "Why not get my old one working right?"
So I ordered a replacement board from a highly recommended builder, and put it in the old wah..Didn't work, due to me not connecting something up correctly.
I contact the builder, and he offered to wire it up correctly for me, all I had to do was send it to him and pay shipping, so I went for it!
Sooooo, after spending a total of around $150.00, the trouble of boxing, shipping, ect., ect, I finally get it back today looking forward to having some fun with my "new" toy..
And lo and behold, it's just as noisy as it was when it had the original board in it! DAMN!
What a freakin' waste of time and money!
Oh well, at least I still have my trusty Dunlops!
