Hey y'all, I am located near Cincinnati and am looking for anyone near by that could help me locate some backup parts for my Marlen S10. Currently good to go but I have been trying in vain to locate the specific steel rod bushings online to try to have extra parts for when the current ones give out.

From what I have read the original builder has passed and all the old links to websites seem gone too.

Any help or nudge towards someone that may know or can help would be appreciated. I travel a fair bit so I can also bring the guitar to somewhere within a few hours of here if there is a place that can manufacture new parts?

Thanks y'all,
Travis

Travis; you need more info about YOUR Marlen; as the "Pull-Release" Marlen's even had different diameter crossbars than the 80's version "All Pull" crossbars. So to find parts to FIT your Marlen; what is the serial number?? and you have some pics?? if you can't/or have probs putting pics up here; email them to me at > sshawaiian2362@gmail.com and I'll put them up for ya.

Barry, a lot of these look like what I need! Let me get some photos soon and I will be back in touch. Would love to buy some of the rod bushings for sure if they are right size.

Here's some pics of some moving parts of the Marlen; Travis has. It is certainly an "All-Pull" Marlen (later model-80's-ish); so the diameter of the cross-shaft's are different diameter between "Pull-Release" and "All-Pull".
