Hey Ted. Your Hangar 9 iron is still available new. It's actually for making RC airplanes, hence the 'Hangar 9' name. It's to shrink the covering material over the bodies and wings.

Years ago I bought a bunch of dead DeArmond gold foil pickup coils on eBay, probably saved by an old employee when they tested them, or from customer returns. I was able to repair about 25 of them, and found the problem was where the inside coil wire attached to the pickup base. They tried at least three different attachment methods over the years, and I had some of each. I had to use eye magnifiers to see the short piece of wire coming out of the inside of the coil, and I only had one chance to try and get a good solder connection to the base, but I was able to save some of them without a rewind.

Great to see another Harmony H1260 being properly restored, they're such great guitars. i own many of these harmony models dating from 1959 thru 1970, and i have found that the pickguards are in fact, very consistent in their shape. many of these pickguards fell off the guitars because of gluing problems and excessive heat and were lost, so people have attached aftermarket ones, which might possibly be the case with this one . The shadow visible on this guitar shows the old pickguard position on the outside ring of the rosette, which is not how they were positioned at the factory. The originals were lined up on the edge of the second rosette radius, with the pickguard covering the large outside ring, much like a martin and the majority of flat top guitars.

Applaud you, and for the owner, for the sensible repair on this Harmony. I realize it's not a Martin, and some complain not worth the money to repair, but this obviously ignores the personal attachment we have to our instruments. This is a worthy instrument. I have a 1920's Gibson L-0. Charlie Hoffman and Ron Tracy have serviced it over the years - neck reset, new pyramid bridge, frets. Is it worth the cost? To me it is, as I love it's sound and feel in my hands, and it's family connection. For me, it's mostly used for classical repertoire, which gives a nice little punch to Giuliani and Tarrega. Cheers, and thank you for your videos. Have followed since the beginning. I may not be a luthier, but I greatly appreciate the understanding of my beloved instruments that you provide.

Enjoyed the playing at the end. Very nice. My first acoustic was a Harmony, and I think it may have been one of these. Around 1970, I got a Yamaha FG-180 which was noticeably narrower in the body. The Yamaha disappeared at the Greyhound bus station in Cleveland when I changed busses. Never saw it again. Knowing what I do now and hearing this Harmony, I wonder how much easier to play and better sounding mine could have been. Neither the Harmony nor the Yamaha ever got any sort of setup after the factory sent them out.
