Cry Baby bottom plate

[Strat Jacket]

Hey, I have a Cry Baby wah that I bought back in the 70s. one of the battery leads broke, and in the process of "gonna fix this" somehow the little rubber feet got lost. I ordered a new set from the LGS (took forever and a day to get here) and when they finally did, I can't locate the bottom cover plate now. D'oh!
Anyone have an idea where to get parts for a Cry Baby?

No but road signs like STOP and NO PARKING are great for making parts like that.

Mabye look behind the washing machine?

You see that stuff popping up on Ebay. Usually for too much money, but they do show up. I bet Dunlop can sell you one as those pedals have been the same since the 60's aside from the battery compartment addition. I also see dead Wah's for sale for $40 or so on C/L and F/B.

You could make one pretty easily for the price of a small piece of aluminum sheet, maybe 22ga, from a big box store. Menards is usually my first stop for stuff like this. If you're not up for making one, you may have luck contacting Dunlop, as @StratUp said.

Unless you are sure you disposed of it, don’t order a new one for now… just close it with heavy cardboard…

The plate will reappear eventually.

Maybe Geoff Teese at RMC Wah. I believe his cases are the same size. If not, he may be able to steer you to the harbor.
...Or the cardboard solution if you're not gigging with it.

Mine is older so doesn't have the battery box. Not sure if the BB plate will work or not?

Just buy a new one. It's the fastest way to make the old one suddenly resurface.

Not saying it won't...but the old one has been missing several years now so if it's still in the house I'd likely have to move to find it.

I do have one laying around. Will this one work for you? I'll send it to you; this particular Crybaby broke like 20 years ago. LOL

Dunlop sells them on eBay as a kit $20 comes with the feet . You may have to settle for one with the built in battery compartment bottom if you have a vintage one. Much more convenient!
Good luck.

What was the issue the pedal ? I wouldn't mind taking a stab at fixing it

Shoot, I don't even remember anymore. I'll have to plug it in and give it a go.

Oops. I know how that feels I sympathize with you. But I lost my whole cry baby several years back and at one point considered buying another one off eBay. At that time I saw several sellers selling them …I imagine if you do a little searching you can by the whole cry baby for about what you paid for those footings. Good luck. Hope you find the bottom plate. Look at it this way if you order a whole cry baby then find the plate you will have a spare.
