I picked up two needy old Cry Baby pedals today. The older one is hella old—the inside is all hand-soldered. I can’t figure out how to date it. There’s no date codes on the pot or caps. The circuitboard is also undated (both sides). The only useful number I can find is a sticker on the circuit board, “84-22865-0”, which turns up in a Thomas Organ catalog as the Vox Cry Baby pedal. Anybody know when this was made? It has a TDK 5103 inductor, so I think that makes this an original 1970s Thomas wah. But the pot and bottom plate are Dunlop brand, although those might be replacement parts.
Here’s a link to a good photo of the guts that’s too big to embed.
