Blaze II single coil

SalemB · #1 05-02-2002, 07:34 PM

After a discussion with fraspe I realized that the single coil on my 1990 UV7BK doesn't quite look like those pictured on this page. Mine have all capped poles.
Is this unusual?

Here's a pic to make it clearer:

Another difference is of course that mine is dirty

I now think it's the camera that's getting "mirrored" in the polepieces. That's why it's so dark on four of them.

Am I wrong?

I don't think so. None of my pole pieces are adjustable while the normal situation is that 4 or 7 pole pieces can be adjusted.

I can also inform that in order to avoid any nasty mirroring I pulled on a pair of pants before taking the picture

I think the first run of blazeII single coils (1990 I think?) had non adjustable pole pieces like yours in the picture, I know simon(cerealk)'s UV has the same. Mine are both later models and have the adjustable black pole pieces. DOn't worry, you've just got more of a rarity.
