I sold *lots* of these in 1964/5 when I managed a music shop.
The cord just dangled out of hole. The volume control was like
what you find on the front of modern CD-ROM drives, but larger.
The missing pole piece was to compensate for B string coming out
too loud. They were wonderful, or so we all thought at the time.
A lot of the units we sold were for twelve-strings. I had one
myself on a Hoyer twelve-string. [I wonder what happened to that …]
They also made a version for cello guitars. A support rod clamped on
to the strings between the tailpiece and the bridge and the pickup
could be slid up and down to any position between the bridge and the
fingerboard.
