Ed, sounds like a 'car wash' deal to me. I have a the same vintage in my shop right now that I am rebuilding for me..no, I haven't gotten to the block yet, but I will say this: She still sings with the old wire on it. The block is not an option for me..it will be replaced..as a matter of fact, the only thing that will probably remain 'original' on it is the board and the plate. ..and yes, they were ebony. FWIW, Phil Bondi(Fl)
