Floating bridge & broken strap button :: 1960's Harmony H22

A recent NYC acquisition of a full-hollow Harmony bass for a Boston area player in the shop for a couple issues.  The plastic tail strap button broke off which makes playing while standing on stage a little difficult (duh).  I removed the broken piece of the acoustic-style endpin, plugged the hole and installed a set of Fender strap buttons.  Another issue was that the floating bridge was skating all over the top so we decided to lock it down with double-sided tape.  The tape should keep the intonation in check and will release with a little naptha if necessary.  Cool bass for sure.
