Hi

Ive got a couple of odball duncan bobbins.
Is there a official time line for these?

70s "sey" era 59 oval sticker in ivory color CAB bobbin

Late 70s-83 era jazz in same ivory color CAB bobbin
No logo base plate square sticker

80-83 era cream jazz CAB bobbin. Same cream as 80-87
No logo base plate


80-83 era cream 59 CAB bobbin. Same cream 80-87
No logo base plate

83-87 era white 59 CAB bobbin
Big logo base plate

86-88 era white APH CAB bobbin
Big logo base plate

86-87 era IVORY!!! APH CAB bobbin
Big logo base plate

88-89 era CAB bobbin light cream
Small logo base plate





So to the questions.
Did the Ivory bobbin get discontinued 78-80?
If so, how come that there are some 85-86 APH out there

Did the white bobbins enter with big logo era 1983?


Left Ivory
Right cream

More difference IRL

It's hard to say whether they looked like that when made or whether the color changed over time.

I have a Nos cream and a Nos white.
I grinded a ivory and its ivory inside to.

Btw got a double cream jazz that is nicotine yellow.
Took a 10 000 micro mesh and it went back to the original color.

MJ told me some of the red stamp era pups had nylon bobbins. This might account for some color difference

Ok we might have a pattern here.

The late 70s ivory oval sticker got red stamp.
The 80-83 era ivory, 80s era rectangular sticker got red stamp.
The cream 80-83 era got purple stamp
