Does anyone have info on an EMICO "Electro Cry" Wah

I have a rare wah pedal called an EMICO "Electro-Cry" Wah. Just recently,I finally saw a pic of one on the Harmony Central forum? I would like to know more info about the company that made this wah. Also was it sold in music stores or was it a DIY kit? Ive researched the name EMICO and the only conclusion is that it might be the same company that made electronic panel meters. I would like a schematic for this one. I have one that I found broken in a barn. I had rewired it a few years back and it was the best sounding wah Ive heard.Also, it's inductor coil was broken,so I unwound it and wrote down # of turns which was 438. Im guessing it is #38 wire? The cool part was it looks like the circuit is modeled after an early vox clyde mccoy wah. It had Ge PNP transistors and ceramic caps with unusual values. This is a really cool wah and would be a great build.

I am absolutely certain that if you can provide detailed pictures and as much info as possible, SOMEONE will invest the time to resurrect it

Why do I get the feeling that there's a finger pointing at me...

No finger pointing on my end for sure!

At first glance, it looks like just another simple wah circuit.

That is, if there are no MOJOTASTIC parts

All kidding aside, if you could provide good pics of the component side, trace side, pot, and wiring... I am sure it could be done!

Sounds good Chad. Let us know when you have a schematic and layout for this. A parts breakdown will be nice also.

That's Sir_HC's pedal, I think I didn't add it to FXDB because I didn't know a brand name

Doing a quick component part count, looks like a pretty straight forward wah circuit.

No flux capacitors here
