Well, these don't come up very often! These experimental lapsteel/amp pair came out in 1951 and lasted a year or two before being forgotten as an evolutionary dead end. But no more, we're here to put the record straight, these were the future of Hawaiian music! To quote the Magnatone publicity of the time: "Revolutionary new tuning bridge eliminates cumbersome geared machine heads. No gears to slip. Positive – Self locking – Strings Stay Put. No arduous tuning sessions before classes or public appearances. Simplified changing of strings.” Well, in truth tuning without gears can be slightly irritating and the changing of strings requires patience. However, it's all worth because this apparatus sounds AMAZING! The thing the copy writer overlooked was that the pole passing the amp and up to the steel provides some really quite etherial feedback, making this the first purely electric instrument designed for feedback. Has to be heard to be believed. Great with regular electric guitar, too.

This is almost entirely original down to the guitar lead. I installed a 3 prong earthed cord, hopefully mitigating the risk of receiving a powerful shock between the legs. I also removed the death cap, for similar reasons. The original Jensen Alnico P8T speaker has been re-coned as the original was shot.

Made for US voltage, I will throw in a step down transformer to enable it to run on 240V. I'll also sweeten the deal by throwing in a professional alun key to boot.

TBH, it's really hard to price an item like this as it's utterly unique. I have to believe that there is someone out there who appreciates what a magical piece of musical history this is, and is prepared to compensate for the insane amount of effort and patience it took to restore this to it's current perfect working condition. We shall see!

Perfect for HEAVY chewers
Color: Onyx Black - Most Durable
My dog is a heavy chewer. Destroys everything that’s not very hard rubber, hard plastic, or hard material. He LOVES this ball. I think it’s his favorite. Plus, it bounces great so you can play with your dog. Very well constructed- probably indestructible or will at least last a very long time. Easily worth the money.

The only toy my dogs can’t destroy and love
Color: Onyx Black - Most Durable
I am thrilled to have found one toy my dogs don’t destroy immediately. They have torn up Fenrir hammers, the black kongs of all sizes, the monster k9 stick, nylabones, and they don’t like the goughnut at all (it stinks like a bad tire). This is the first one they both love and haven’t been able to destroy immediately. It does allow little tooth marks, but that’s what makes it fun for them. They are very happy playing with it and I’d say this one was worth every dollar. Update Months Later: We’ve gone through 2/3 now. I got two initially, and one has lasted long term. They still haven’t completely destroyed it. They did destroy a second one quickly so I suspect a flaw in it. They sent me a new one and they took a while, but they did destroy the third to the point we had to throw it away. Despite that, one still remains and our dogs still love it. It’s still the best for the money compared to others. We have two Bully XL’s that are each close to 100 pounds.

Indestructible
Color: Onyx Black - Most Durable
This is actually indestrutible! Be careful though, it's wicked hard/heavy. It isn't a ball you want banging into things. Use outside!!

Not indestructible, but the best I’ve found
Color: Onyx Black - Most Durable, Color: Onyx Black - Most Durable
This thing is unexpectedly heavy for its size. My 18 month old Giant Schnauzer is obsessed with fetch but destroys every ball she gets. The other brands marketed for extreme chewers tend to last about a day or two before they’re totally shredded. She’s had this one for about 2 weeks and it’s looking rough, but still holding together for the most part. I appreciate that as it comes apart it does so in little pieces rather than large chunks. While it’s far from indestructible, it’s the strongest I’ve found so far.

Great product!
Color: Onyx Black - Most Durable
Great product! Quickly became my Pit Princess's favorite toy! The size, weight, and material is perfect for a big dog. Now we have fetch ball that has proven itself to be worthy!
