Thanks guys! I will experiment with the rod placing. I'm getting it closer now.

I suppose its just the distance between the changer and the metal sleeve on the nylon nut side. I wonder does anyone have a nice all pull parts diagram? It is hard to talk about pedal steel repair as ...

I dont see how if the rod and cross bars move the same distance, one string could travel less distance than the other two strings.

I have added a knee lever for the F# to G# on my Mullen and I just got the rod for the second string Eb to E raise. What I am having trouble understanding is, it that lever raises the F# strings a who ...

I tried some sites from searches, but it appears no one has it.

I am looking for the C6 and swinging DVDs by Jeff Newman. I cannot find any stores online that are selling this. I really like Jeff's teaching style and he cuts right to the point.

So is this content still unavailable for purchase? I'd really love to get the C6th workshops.

I made a video for this operation. Hopefully it helps those who need to do the same thing. https://youtu.be/LTY8HotxkWg

Making progress with everyone's help. Now onto changing LKR to raise F#s to G#s and D# to E.

It will install and look just like your RKL and LKL knee levers. You can just copy them. The location would be the hole after the 5th pedal. You can mount the lever where it fits and folds nicely. ...

Not to discourage you but I was told by some that in order to add across shaft to a PRP, you have to pretty much drop the whole undercarriage from the guitar. I hope this not true and some Mullen expe ...

So I got the parts for Mullen and well I guess I am stuck again. I wonder if I could even get a picture of what moving B to Bb to VKL would look like. If I had a picture of this puzzle. I could probab ...

RKR does have a half stop. So its purpose is to add a Major 6th? Or is it generally used in combination with a pedal?

My Mullen D10 has the same change on both pedal 4 and RKR. That is, these raise strings 4 and 8 from an A to a B. I can't think of any reason to have the same change in two locations. Is this normal? ...

Does anyone know if Herby's material is still available?

Oh yeah there is a picture...just missed it. Thanks.

Hey all,

I have a mullen D10 and the half stop on RKR is pretty subtle. It would be great to have this be little firmer. I am thinking about buying the half stop kit from Mullen, but I want to make ...

Hello All,

I just bought a nice PRP Mullen D-10 8+4. I would like to do a few things to it but I have never changed or added anything to steel. I am pretty mechanically inclined, but it would be am ...

Selling my Zum Stage One. This is my first steel and it's been a great guitar. Much better guitar than anything I've played in this beginner price range. I bought it from the make Doug Earnest at Zum ...

So I ended up drilling out the rivets. It came off pretty easy. Reattached the end of the winding to some wire and its good to go. Here is what it looked like inside, in case anyone is interested:

I probably should have said the reason I started down this path. The pots were bad so I wanted to replace them. When I took off the plate, I saw that the positive pickup lead was hot glued to the plat ...

Any thoughts on how to remove that pickup? I was considering drilling through those rivets in order to reattach the positive lead.

I did peak under the badge, but did not see any markings.

Starting to think this is a harmony dearmond hershey bar pickup. Looks like these didn't have a ground lead?
