I'm finding it really hard locating a fingerboard for a prewar 1040, but I'm not alone by the looks of things.I can see it has dropped off as a topic but from what I can see there hasn't been a resolution to the problem...or have I missed it..?

Couldn't fit this in one post sorry.

I think I have a new old stock spare one of those!   Could have saved you some work.

.thanks Oh Sage One! I had spotted that from Theo, but it was 18 months ago... ever the optimist I've contacted Theo and am hoping for the best.....

[911377brian]

Oh Joy! Oh Bliss! Theo had two in stock, a black plastic one and an original wooden one. He's sending me the wooden one........

I will take the old one off your hands -  if you have no plans for it!

Oh, Sage One! The box was given to me without a fingerboard, the deceased owners daughter said he played it without one....Sorry. [Bit difficult to believe...]

I recently got one of these for my Pokerwork.

Fitted OK with a bit of patience but as with others I needed to adjust the leavers a bit.

Seller also said he was planning on doing some for the 1 row / 4 bass Hohners too.

(seller no relation to me etc...!)
