Did they make an all-pull?
The only one I ever saw in person was a pull-release. This means it will be difficult to find parts for work, and challenging to work on. Unless you are part Gyro Gearloose, and part Caractacus Potts, this should not be your first pedal steel guitar

I'd buy that one. In a heartbeat. Except that I don't like single tens.

Either it was a different Wilcox or my memory was lousy about the name. It was a pull-release in the mid 80s in Florida
