Default I bought a piece of history this week

Found this on Wednesday, bought it on Thursday, a c.1935 Audiovox lapsteel, model 136 by Paul Tutmarc out of Seattle, WA. I'm not a lapsteel player, but I couldn't pass this up. Research Paul Tutmarc and one will find some interesting stuff regarding the 1st electric guitars and basses.

That's so cool, Patrick. Is it playable in its current state?
