Determine Model on "old" SD pickup without a model sticker

[GreatOz]

Good day, how do you determine an SD pickup without the model attached on the sticker/label?

Some details I do have. It has a logo on the back and on the front, a 2-Conductor wire wrapped in black with green/black as the smaller wires.

Attached are a few pictures, but I do not see how they would be helpful.

The only thing I can think of to even remotely determine it is by measuring its DCR.

Dcr would certainly help.

I was also wrong about its wiring; it is a 4-Conductor. How do you measure DCR on 4-Conductor? It has Black, Red, Green, and White.

Dcr and listen to it.

Connect red & white, and measure from black to green.

The most useful thing for DCR is what you want from it......a chance to determine the model.

Typically DCR changes with temp too, and indeed even the heat from your hand can make the readings change as you look. So the reading at 21 centigrade is typically the 'nominal DCR' you will find on the website

We can see the copper wire thru the window. Since it a brite penny wire also called SPN, single poly nylon, we can rule out all PE, plain enamel, wire pickups like 59, Pearly Gates and APH.

Lick the bobbins. If it tastes like strawberries, it's got a ceramic magnet. If it tastes like bananas, it has an Alnico magnet.

Don't trust him - he is just kidding.
In fact its salted caramel and high protein cookie dough.
