I think I have got it now. Thanks for the new picture. Looks like you attached it to the end of a rod that you could adjust to pull on the string. Very clever. I made some crude attempts on mine afte ...

And now... my Sho bud Super Pro is reassembled and all seems to work but... for some reason cannot get enough travel on the C pedal to pull the E to and F#. What am I missing here?

Thanks Tony, I think I might put it back together first and give it a try- a lot of trouble but it might be worth it.

The axel does not show much wear to my eye or touch and the fingers all seem about the same. Some lo ...

This should help clarify the situation. And correction- it is a super pro model. I have already taken out the 2 allen screws. I t ...

There are no wood screws- only the 2 allen bolts on top that go into the aluminum neck. I am wondering if there are hidden screws behind the pickup. I do not see any on the bottom side.
