After struggling through a couple unsuccessful repairs on the first pedal steel I’ve owned, purchased last year, and learning that it was essentially a parts guitar with an unconventional setup, I d ...

In the picture of the changer from the top side, I notice that the screw at the back side of the changer on the 4th string sticks out more than the others. Just an observation--I have no idea if it is ...

If I sounded cranky it's because I was cranky. Sorry. I'm basically frustrated because I'd like to help but I just can't. I expect that with it in my hands it would take little time to sort things ...

It appears that a bell-crank has slipped. I see one that is leaning over at an angle.

Thanks for posting the pics but I got nothing, sorry. Appears to be well machined very basic mechanics. I guess if it plays and sounds good, that's all that matters.
