These are pretty crappy too but they work, and they're cheap and easy to acquire

I have one I got very cheap from a "storage wars" type guy, it had 6 pedals and no knees when I first got it. It's a fatback from around '73 I'd guess. The pedals and left side pedal axle mo ...

How you gonna do RkR and RKL at same time?...
Good point. It's been a couple of weeks and OP hasn't responded so we may never know what it is that he's trying to do.

Is their a way of achieving on a push pull to have
RKL 1st string raise F# to G# and 2nd string Eb to E and
RKR 2nd string lower Eb to D and C#.
The 2nd string raise is canceled by the lower.
