Thanks, Graham. I did hear back from Mr. Stephens and he has been very generous helping me out.

I much appreciate everyone's attempts to help me. I left a message for Darrell Stephens at 903-278-5832 yesterday and hope that number is still his and he returns my call.

Thanks, Jon. But please note my post just before yours. I have all the card layouts and schematics. Need the chassis-mounted parts schematics.

Thanks for sending, but I do have that schematic page you sent for the power supply card. As I mentioned, I need to find the schematic for or information that shows the AC line in along with the tran ...

Grateful for the schematics of the various sections of the amp, but for some reason it does not include the AC line path into the transformer part of the power supply that shows the pair of big b ...

Address sent. Very grateful, Paul!

I found an very old thread where member Bob Lawrence provided a schematic for the Evans FET 500 Custom LV amp. After not receiving a reply to my PM to him, I was sorry to find out he passed away earli ...

Thanks again everyone. They are indeed those 'acoustic toggle bolts' used to hang panel ceiling frames. MSA just cut off the long bolt to make the shorty with the drilled flag that the rod hooks into. ...

Thanks, Bill. Great source!

I did, Jeffrey! I found size #6 x 1/4" od x 3/4" long aluminum spacers at Home Depot that work much better. Their internal diameter is closer to the rod diameter and there is more flat conta ...

Love this Forum! I count my blessings that b0b walks the Earth and provides this meeting place - as should we all.
Problem solved in one hour! Thanks Edward, Ronald and George.

Thanks again top everyone for their suggestions. I ended up taking the changer completely apart, cleaned and lightly lubed it and starting setting it up from scratch. I don't know how the fingers got ...

The pic shows the part off an MSA Pro Am SIDEKICK S10 that the rods attach to opposite the changer end. (Thumb pick is for scale.) That's one broken one and one intact one. Is there a generic hardware ...

Still available, Johnie. Just lowered the price and includes US shipping. Will deliver within 150 miles.

No problem, Edward. I appreciate it. I'm getting an education here about it.

Well, that makes more sense to me now out of what John mentioned. I see the 2 "tabs" the pedal feet would sit on. But no pin on the bracket....so I'm still not sure what I'm looking at in yo ...

Thanks, John. But not sure what you mean. As seen in the pics earlier in the thread, my pedal has 2 height adjustment screws with feet. Is that what you mean by " but you definitely need the 2 &q ...

Anyone know where to get the pin bracket for the volume pedal that attaches it to the pedal bar of the steel?

Very grateful to everyone for their help! I'm doing my best to get it sorted out and will keep you all apprised.

PS - Donny, thanks for pointing it out, but that is actually not a crack in the wood ...

No apology necessary, Jerry. Those mechanism diagrams were very educational for me.

The SIDEKICK seems to be a single rivet raise and lower finger mechanism.
The mechanisms look the same on all s ...

Thanks, Jerry - Can you (or anyone) tell me a source for info on how how I might make it lower both E's rather than the raise one/lower the other like it has now?

I have a pedestrian knowledge of ...

Thanks, Jerry. Yes, I saw that manual for the regular SIDEKICK and the Pro Am is slightly different. But I've never seen a copedent with an 4th and 8th string E simultaneous raise and lower on the sam ...

I have an MSA Pro-Am SIDEKICK 3X1 and am selling it for a friend. Can anyone tell me if the one right knee lever is suppose to lower the two E's to Eb like I'm used to on my ShoBud?

When I got it ...

Thanks for your interest, JIm and John. But the steel sold elsewhere to a non-forum member.

This MSA Pro-Am SIDEKICK 10 string pedal steel guitar is in excellent condition!
It has 3 floor pedals and 1 knee lever for the standard E9 Nashville tuning. The finish is a wood grain vinyl and incl ...
