I have a patten pending H82 with dot fret board, it has been repainted years ago and the bridge is not original. Does anyone have a bridge or a close up picture with measurement and description so that I may make one. Are they made of common materials? Is the pickup the same as the H-44 guitar or H-1 lap steel? Thanks, any help appreciated - kathleen - 2007-09-30

Tim, Did you get a close up of the bridge? I just bought a tenor H82. I can send a picture to you if you like. My email is john at dumb dot org. - EC - 2008-12-21
The stenciled ELECTRO logo used on this banjo is exactly the first standardized logo used by Rickenbacker on their electric spanish instruments produced prior to 1934 - which by the way - were made by the Harmony Company, very similar to the bodies Harmony was producing for the National Trojan model. - François (webmaster) - 2010-11-12
I just bought one so I can add this to the description : original bridge is made of hardwood with a slice of brown rubber as a saddle ! (see a photo on the H281 5 string electro banjo page)
