Price check : Boss DM-2 silver screw


Toasted

Silver screw DM-2 is a hoax.

The DM-2 wasn't made in '77-'80, the only years that Boss pedals had a silver screw.

 

The guy most likely switched the screw from a common DS-1 or CE-2 to a DM-2.

 

Perhaps Big Boss Man or other Boss aficionado's can back me up on this here.

So that indicates that the latest a DM-2 could be made is 1980, but they didn't start using silver screws until 1981?

 

So this means that my pedal may have a silver screw, but all that means is that its just a non-original screw. Correct?

No,

The production of DM-2's started probably late 1980, early 1981.

But only pedals made between '77 and '80 or so have silverscrews.

 

as far as I know these are the ones that have silver-screw versions:

SD-1

DS-1

SP-1

SG-1

OD-1

PH-1

PH-1r

GE-6

TW-1

CS-1

CE-2

 

and MAYBE the NF-1, but I never saw one with a silverscrew.

 

Usually when they have a silverscrew, the font used for the pedal's name is different as well. A bold capital + thin letters.

And the dash between the 2 letters for the type and the number is usually longer then.

 

 

silverscrew, thin font, long dash:

regular font, black plastic screw, short dash:

According to the Boss Book, the DM-2 was sold between June of 81 and February of 84.

 

I've seen a couple of NF-1s with the silver screw. Are you sure about the SD-1?
