Reviving an old thread because today I finally started working on the mandolin I bought in 2009. A few quick questions for anyone that has ever had the cover off for the controls. Is there a huge sound post in yours below the bridge? I'm trying to figure out if that is original and the second question is about the original screws holding the cover plate for the controls. Are those screws chrome Phillips head (I'm assuming they are) and are the screws pan head? I'm in no ways trying to get this back to original, just want to keep it in the same ballpark as it was originally. These were sold under many names and look like the one Gail posted in the original message.
