Ben asked:


I am currently in possession of an EKO CX-7 Artist solid-body electric guitar. I remember reading somewhere that it was produced in the early 1980s, but I cannot find the site now. The only search result that I’ve been able to find is that of the same model being sold on an Italian instrument site for 450EU (about 650USD).

Any values or other information is greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Tino asked:


I was on ebay one day, and I found this vintage cardboard Halloween cut out I wanted. I didn’t watch it or anything, and when I went to go back and look for it to buy it, I never was able to find it again. I’m here in hopes that someone on Yahoo answers shares the same passion in vintage Halloween die cuts as I do and will know where to find this de cut or have at least seen it. I would say that this die-cut was from the 40′s, and it was of a boy dressed as a bum/hobo carrying a stick trick or treating. Have you seen this die cut? I’m guessing it was made by the beistle company, but it could have been made by Gibson; I’m not sure. Please please please someone get back to me and let me know if you seen this die-cut. Thank’s.

I have a vintage lapsteel and need to replace just the buttons on the machines as they got melted by the previous owners. These machines are not available any more, but buttons are readily available. They are not the ***** on type, so how do they fit? Cheers, Dave
