I just purchased this rare vintage 1982 L2 bass . It is in exceptional cond with very little fret wear , a couple of small chips on the bottom where it stands , but apart from that sounds and plays as good as it would have when it was new . Does anybody know to polish the graphite and repair the smallchips in it ? The leg rest was the only part missing , i mad this out of a jack plug and a piece of aluminium , it does the job
many thanks

Just in case you haven't seen them yet, Andy (from Steinberger World) has just put up some newly made leg rests for sale

It looks really smooth ! i think mine has the type on the right as the socket inside is not flat , but looks like a jack plug end shape . Also inside there is a small spring loaded pin that moves in and out to allow something like a jack plug to push past it . Do you think this would be compatible with what i have ?
If so ill definitly invest in one of these . the dark spot inside the hole is the pin

Hi Rick,

the pic is a little bit blurred, but I'm afraid this is NOT the compatible version. There shouldn't be a pin within the socket, as the pin on Andy's legrest is located on the post. This pin needs a notch in the socket, not another pin. You should probably ask Andy on Steinberger World, but I'm almost sure your socket is the wrong one for these legrests.
