As much as I love this steel, I have a shot at a U-12 steel and that is what I really want to get back to.
I got this from a gentleman who had ordered it new. He had put an odd tuning on it and quickly lost his fascination with pedal steel. It sat for years un-played! A true closet classic. Per Tom, at Sierra, it is a SS-10 with the early double raise, double lower changer. From what I found out from Harley James it was one on the best changers they made. Super smooth and plays like velvet! Even the case is in excellent shape. It is the Fender Style case.
I gutted it and ordered more rods and parts from Tom. What a great guy to work with! He was a wealth of info on the steel and had all the parts I needed shipped in no time at all (over $160.00 in new rods, a bell crank, plastic parts).
I took apart the changer and added missing plastic pieces (rod guides). The changer looks like new, virtually no wear.
I got it set up with A-B-C pedals and a Franklin pedal on the 4th. And to boot, it sounds great!!
$1,100.00 and shipping/insurance. PayPal Ok. Lower 48 States only.

| Is that partial, right-arm-only pad original equipment? I just posted, semi-facetiously, about that idea in one of the "pad or no pad" threads, but I didn't know anyone had actually done it! |

I have decided to limit sales to the lower 48 States to avoid shipping damage, customs issues, etc.
Thanks! |
