I have a unique request of the group. An acquaintance of mine is pulling together a design exhibit in Chicago and is interested in including a specific model of Gibson lap steel. Their focus is more about mid-century design artifacts than musical instruments, so they are at a bit of a loss as to where to start with finding one.
The model is a Gibson Ultratone, and in particular it is the one with plastic covers for the headstock and bridge and offset "fretboard". Here's a recent example from Reverb:

Still trying to get show duration and other details. Wondering if anyone here has one and would be interested in helping them out, or knew another person who might be in a position to do so? I have a few ideas, trying to see if there is a more direct option via this group - thanks!
