Wow, what a good deal in a 74 PP.  This should sell quick.
Guitar appears to be in excellent condition, any under carriage shots

Herbert,
Did you work on the undercarriage?
I've never seen those aluminum "sleeves" used on the pull rods before. They are usually used as spacers on the push rods by the changer. |

| maybe albert could explain about the non-stock bellcranks on the first three pedals that the pedal rods attach to...what are these? why not the original hook up? |

Chris,
I agree, it looks a little strange. |

The Albert Johnson pedal rod bellcranks have three holes for the pedal rod attachment, rather than the notch on the stock one. You can pick whichever gives you the leverage and pedal travel you like. Also, with the holes the rod hook can't fall off so you can remove the return springs for lighter pedal action, although they will rise if you have a lower on the same strings they work on, but not he initial free travel you'd have with the return springs. Albert does beautiful work. He also makes a raise and lowering rod guides. You can save bellcranks and eliminate some clutter under the guitar.
Sleeves on raises rods give the spring a uniformly flat surface to work against, rather than the curved one on the swivel, regardless of how the spring might be oriented. Probably not a huge difference but a nice touch. |

I really like Albert's work on that push/pull.
It's wonderful when someone can take an instrument that is noted for its tone and then improve on it so it plays better. |
