i got a partial shell for one of these off ebay recently, unfortunately it was just the swivel part for the fuzz (left to right) and not the bottom of the treadle.
i'd thought it was a volume/tone pedal... ooops.
anyways, it doesn't have the bottom part of the pedal!!

i have the rocker and the twist part, but not the base, if that makes any sense...

so my million dollar ??? is if someone may be able to get me some dimensions from one of the original chrome ones  so i can have my son fabricate a new bottom.. so i can semi-restore it. not gonna bother with the fuzz wah circuit, more interested in it being a volume/tone or volume/pan pedal.

appreciate the help !!! ;)

You just need the base plate that covers the bottom of the pedal?

Can't you just trace an outline of it on a piece of paper and mark where the holes should be? That would get you 90% of the way there and then after it's cut out, it's just tweaking it until just right.

it's more like a shell within a shell, sorta..
the top pivots on the bottom, but not sure exactly how. think of it like a wah, like the fx17..it's similar to that, but the foot rest on top turns side to side.
the bottom is more almost like a sho-bud volume pedal, if that makes any sense.

just hoping someone may have a good one i could measure and maybe get a gut shot of so i can approximate what it needs.

thanks paul ;)

I've got one! I can try getting those measurements for you. Not sure how soon, I'll be pretty busy with work the next week or so, but I'll let you know!
