| I've heard that called "pushing through". You push through the lower string, stop then push through the next in proper timing. | |

| If you can find one, check the Marrs speaker cabinet like PF used. I believe they're 3/8" ply with internal 1x Pine ribs for support. Very light. I've made cabinets and cases out of Lowe's 1/2&qu ... | |

| FWIW. Emmons used his right on p7 and p8 even if his left foot was idle, but he was the best ever. That said I watched Buck Reid play an entire set and he only used his right foot once (on Bootheel Dr ... | |

| Roger, I'd think the Carter Magnum bellcranks on page 3 of Michael's psg website might be a workable alternative to the Emmons parts. | |

| FWIW, you can use any similar pullkit from any guitar with 3/8" (?) Square cross shafts ! Then,if you find Carter parts you can restore its originality. | |
