Looking for an old Rickenbacher lap steel case--

I found the EM9 tuning to be not perfect for my 68 Emmons D10, nor my Zum D10, they were close, but the EP9 tuner was quite far off for both steels, as expected. Every steel has unique cab drop, can t ...

I enhanced the picture, there's a name on the front of the steel---can you discern it?

Looking for a lap steel case for a couple old lap steels from the 30s-40s, beat up ok

Did it have his name painted on it?

The Bandmaster would have been a good score, it sure looks like a triple neck in the GJ pic, and there's history of Harold playing w/ him. But you're sure it's not him? That's not to say the guitar c ...

Hi Steve, it was modded for a few pedals, i have the rod pedal bar, but don't have the pedals, my buddy says he might have them--there is some pedal linkage in the underside of the guitar--i'll try t ...

Most of those old cloth coverings were glued on w/ hide glue, so u don't want to get it real wet, makes for a real mess.

gotta flip it over on its top to get at the screws and see what you're doing

I traded for this steel in '79, and have done a lot of work on it, bringing it to 8/8, which was a lot of work, F# compensators were perhaps the easiest to implement , I don't see that modification in ...

Anyone have any tips on doing this, and what you've encountered- ??

Actually the pull rods are 1/8". my mistake, but even so, they need to thread thru at least one bellcrank to traverse all the way to the changer.

Bought some 7/64 hardened steel rod, and added two bellcranks on the P1 crossrod, to lower S1 and S7. Emmons copedent. Lessened the changer return spring pressure on both fingers to keep the pedal pre ...

Put F# compensators on my '68 Emmons last summer, they work well, but it took some twiddling. Anyone try this?

.o12 never breaks--

Depending on the brand of pot, sometimes it's best to -if poss--
just open the pot and put the stuff where it needs to go rather than flood it with liquid

Deoxit R5 or G5 are the best---tube sockets, pots, I've used them for years, amps, analog or digital consoles,

Looking for a small Sho Bud single channel amp made with a 12" speaker in the 70s----not the 15" one--

I have three, a '50, '51' and '54. Use them a lot.

I put them on St 4-5-6. But here in the north and the winter cold, they can really mess things up as the o ring is stiffer.

The only issue I have on my Zum, is the E9 cabinet drop
with pedals 1/2, the two Es do not drop the same amount, with the 8th string dropping two cents more than 4th string. I put a raise compensator ...

Heat, I use a 40w iron--it's plenty

I always take a birthday candle and rub it lightly on new strings in the bar area. Makes 'em feel like butter, and because it's a dry lube doesn't affect anything else---
