Anyone seen this one before? I'm wondering if anyone has the desire to draw up a schematic of this? I'm not 100%on identifying where all the connections are or what it will do. If there are no takers I might try and see if I can get it working on a breadboard

Something like this.  Pot value and taper unknown.  Diodes guessed as 1N4004 (but they could be 1N4007).

According to the water analogy of electricity, transistor leakage is caused by holes.

Weird that a Russian capacitor was used in a circuit in the 1960's, presumably built in Memphis, TN.  Sus.

What car collectors call "a tribute". Wrong frame, wrong engine, over-wrought paintjob. Some tributes are deliberately crafted, some just happen when you clean out the garage.

Mysterious vintage looking pedal with vintage looking parts.  The pedal could be build to deceive, or it could be someone's old DIY project - sometimes people put brand names on their DIY stuff (not even their brand, just something).    The mismatched sockets could be deliberate.
