Quite like these controls, but long overdue for a swap.
Any guidance welcomed... Matt |

Thanks! Eric, I think I intuited what you meant...
Bobby, I'll try that sewing thread trick. Nothing to lose, easily reversed. |

Thanks Eric!
I'm guessing that the 6-32 vs 4-40 thread could at least be part of the part of the problem. I went with 6-32 and 1/8th inch rods because it matched what was already there, but perhaps w ... |

When I got my early ZB D-10 (#1008), it had standoffs for adjusting the pulls. I found them really hard to work with, and built turnbuckles and re-rodded it. It worked pretty well, but the turnbuckles ... | |

Hi Jim,
yeah, all the time. My acoustic is generally tuned D-A-D-F#-b-e, though there are a couple tunes running C-A-C-G-b-e. Also came from a bottle-neck background- with high action there's plenty ... |

Been playing steel and guitar through a MusicMan 2-10 for a long time and generally love it. For recording, I will sometimes output to a 1-15 cab, closed back. Different animal, enough that it changes ... | |

Very interested in the outcome over here as well. Was eyeing a similar model for my ZB.

I haven't dealt with them yet, but researching springs for my ZB, this place seemed good:

Hi All,
I'll be playing a largely solo steel show next Monday at one of my favorite venues, being joined at the tail of the set by Karla Schickele, who I've been playing and singing with forever. I'l ... |

I took a lesson from Bob Hofnar to get out of a rut, and he gave me a CD of drones- both single notes and chords. 15 years later I still use it regularly- for me its useful for both intonation trainin ... | |

I was wondering if anyone had experience with them and their products.
I've got an early Musicman Sixty-five 210 that needs a new power transformer, and they make a direct drop in replacement. Expens ... |

I've been playing a MM 210 65 for years, and I love it. It's got the phase inverter tube, and I've gotten different sounds by swapping it with others of the same type (12at7, etc). Lower gain tube in ... | |

Hi Bruce- I picked up the syringe at a drug store, it was one intended for oral medicine dosage for kids. And yes, flush with Napatha through any available hole in the housing. Same for repack. Super ... | |

Looks like you're on the right track, rodding wise.
For the tuners, I had good results soaking them in napatha overnight, and then flushing them out with a syringe. After drying, I used that same syr ... |

maybe slightly off-topic, but I wanted to ask:
Does anyone have an idea what the ZB position markers mean? I've looked at all the others and largely get the logic of them, but the symbols for my ZB a ... |

I'm adding a RKL to my ZB D10, and while I've got a pretty good idea about where to place it, I wanted to check if there was any common wisdom out there to consider- I'd love to not screw it up and ha ... | |

When there were gigs, I played a ZB of about the same vintage that Brumley plays in that Buck Owens clip. When gigs come back I'll play it again.
It's heavy, beat up, needs constant attention, and I ... |

Hi Scott-
Joining the chorus here- I'd be interested in a triple tap one to go into my 70's Fender/Bud. Great instrument mechanically, but I've been spoiled by the sound and response of my ZB. Als ... |

Thanks Eric!
I've said this before, but watching your work on ZBs has taught me a lot about how to deal with my own. I'm very grateful for all the documentation you've posted to the forum. |
