G Gerryblue New member Jun 23, 2025 #1 I came across a cheap JB locally, but it has a chrome cover, if I remove it, what color will the bobbins be? I'm looking for black, thanks

Artie Peaveyologist Jun 23, 2025 #2 There's no real way to answer that. In the "old" days, you might find double cream. But not likely.

beaubrummels Well-known member Jun 23, 2025 #5 Remove one of the adjustable bobbin screws and you can at least see one of the bobbins. (Or just sink it below the cover until you can see the bobbin color.)

Securb One of Jerry's Kids Jun 23, 2025 #6 It should be black. I would grab if it is a deal. If it turns out to be zebra you should be able to flip it for a little profit pretty quick

G Gerryblue New member Jun 24, 2025 #7 Thank you all for the help! It's around $80 here in Mexico City, quite cheap, since any JB is around $110, so I will get it. Cheers
