I have had an ad in WTB for Stringmaster parts for a while now and thanks to Bill Sinclair, Gary Sill, Bill Quinn, and Al Meyers supplying parts, I have made great progress getting my Stringmaster projects done. Thank you Sirs!

I am at a critical point now and have searched as far as I can and have come up dry. I still need this type of 8 string control plate:




(I could make a D8 plate with the knife switch work or the T8/Q plate with the 3/4 holes for push buttons)

By any chance does anyone know of a source (store, repairman, collector, etc.) that might have one? I am bringing a badly abused Mark 2 Quad husk back to life and this part is on the critical path.

Many thanks all!!!

There are two of these on Ebay. Maybe you could take it to a machine shop and get the other holes cut: https://www.ebay.com/itm/115633668039?hash=item1aec4dbfc7:g:ppIAAOSwtXRjkzYq&amdata=enc%3AAQAHAAAAoHLEDmq%2BdkxiCKSOL4M8qjMQ%2BUVct6re6wfMa1soKzgX6bEhwaeqYdSf4Lc2P8w%2FIb6y88nYdxjj8w0qYnzakFMSCz02RaRq5ArE%2FM%2B1jY27F491dgr%2FzBwdMmnmVXQnpRjzLFYE8Gi3wixwMERMKdi87rqCnrd2Z8lEehx95rOBHThpVZXdO06iaNnFZ5f2ZKzI%2FBBZyyFTqlbphAzwfNw%3D%7Ctkp%3ABk9SR_Tkx_2fYQ

Thanks John,

I have a spare blank plate like that (for neck types 3 & 4) and that is my Plan C. Around here the machine shops have a 3 or 4 hour minimum @ $125 per hour.

If I had a vertical mill (or access to one) I would mod it myself.
