Roger,

Here's my 'fix'. I added a second bellcrank similar to yours and put screws and nuts between them. The screws go through to the half stop bellcrank as well.

So the 'push' force from the ...

Hi Wayne,

Sorry, I should have sent these as well.

The knee lever has a thin section with the rod hole in it.

Roger,

I don't have to tell you it's always an adventure.

Actually I removed the 2 knee lever mounting screws, pulled it up and it was easy from there.

Cheers

Hi Wayne,

I've removed that rod from my 1998 Legrande III and measured it.

It's .110 inch material with opposite right angle bends.

It was easiest to measure the total length ... about 2.850 ...

Hi Marty,

The counterforce on a Legrande III is adjustable. It works by applying a force to the center of the changer.

Each of the A, B and C pedals is connected to one rod that applies the for ...

Hi Roger,
My solution to that problem was to install 2 bell cranks side by side on that shaft and tie them together with short screws and nuts. I think they are 2-56 thread. The rod connects to the ...

Hi Jerry,

I have a couple of these capos. I know I've replaced the plastic/rubber sleeve at least once to keep one clamping well. The original sleeve deteriorated into pieces.

Roger,
The locking nut (or jam nut) is on the hex stop screw to keep it from turning after it's adjusted.

I don't have a flag on that vertical. It's hard to visualize what's blocking your getting a wrench in there.

Hi Roger,
I think you can lower it by adjusting the screw that the knee lever stops against. Then you have to readjust the nylon nuts on the changer.
The caveate is that it will go low enough that ...

Hi Roger,
Glad things are working.
I've enjoyed many of your posts over the years. Must say I'm also glad you are back to playing your guitar.
Cheers,

Hi Roger,
Just looked at mine. That is the rod for the compensator. Mine has a much shorter bend length and the standard clip.
Maybe yours had a collar holding it, rather than the clip ... I don't ...

I bought a Black D10 Legrande III (E9 compensator) S/N 1785L from Al Brisco in Ontario, Canada the fall of 1998.
I think he took delivery of it in late August that year.
Still sounds great!

Dick,
You're very welcome. I just amended the first post, I had the key and chords wrong.
Cheers,

... and as I think more about it, it should be in the tab that was available with the 'Expediton E9'

Dick,

I can only give you a clue. This was shown to me in a lesson years ago when the Expedition E9 Tape came out.

Not a concert, but there's a bunch of Buck's TV shows under 'Buck Owens Ranch' on youtube. Tom is in most of those.
