How's this? Pay no attention to the center hole. It was for an added pot.

It is for sure right now! I guess thinking about it, this photo isn't going to help Baz much, since it has no components in it. Oh well, it's a cool pic anyway. :)

IS THAT SUPPOSED TO BE A JOKE?? Dude...SERIOUSLY....WTF?????    DID YOU NOT READ THE POST ABOVE????   I Need to copy a 1960's 2 pickup Thunderbird wiring diagram.. I need to copy how the pots are soldered together..where the cap goes....where the jack goes...I don't need a photo of a bare control cavity.. that's completely useless to me. And NOT a 1970's T bird...I need a Thunderbird IV...1963-69.

Anything that still needs to be done here? I can offer both (Epi and TBird). I never messed with the controls of either and neither did the pre-owners I believe (TBird had a broken neck when I bought it and had been in coma for decades). Can take fresh pics if required.
