I have a vintage MSA light beam volume pedal up for grabs. Seems to work ok but not to my liking. It has the pedal bar adapter. Accepting any fair offer.

Thanks Ken. I think I got the idea. I just shipped my Profex to Peavey to get whatever the problem is fixed. I also requested info/quote on getting the works done on it. Stay tuned.

What is the battery-less chip and how does it work?

Thanks for the suggestion Alan. I had already checked that possibility by trying it with several different cables. However, your reply did rouse my curiosity. I have been using George L cables and ...

I've got the same problem with my bass player who also runs sound. My suggeation....get a new sound man.

Funny this thread came up. I've got a problem with my Profex II that maybe someone has experienced. First let me reply to the thread. The flash card has nothing to do with it. I've used a Roland M ...

I have basically the same amplifier, except mine is the "Twin Transistor". It has a 15" JBL K-130 in it. When I got it all of the sliders were broke off. I modified it by taking the board out, repl ...

Yes Travis, weight is the dominating factor in my decision. But, equally as important is the flexibility offered with current technology such as triple-raise/triple-lower. My D-12 is single raise/si ...

All: I have exchanged emails with Mitsuo on the Fuzzy guitar I have. According to him, it was built around 1970 and only about 30 of them were made. However, much to my dissapointment, he says he h ...

Donny hit the nail on the head. Lose the strings and springs and then check the freedom of movement. If there's friction, tear it down. Quite often, most users lubricate parts with one of those pen ...

Billy: Thanks for the info, I'll try to contact Mitsuo.

Ron: You idea on the legs would be practical if they were adjustable. These are one piece so I'd have to cut all four.

Thanks for the repli ...

Steve, the tuning shifter rod I'm referring to is the one that goes through the side of the body and locks the E's.

I recently purchased what I think may be an original "Fuzzy" PSG. All pieces and parts are stamped "Fuzzy". Upon a visit to the Fuzzy web site and reading Mitsuo's profile I am almost convinced. I ...

Thanks for the reply Bob. The B+ caps are 4000uf @ 60 V. I have found a few transistors (SFC5865, 7223A) that are bad. I still need to find a suitable cross for them. I believe they may correct t ...
