Eddie,
There are two versions of Emmons volume pedals. The later models have a fixed pin that is inserted through the pedal bar from below. The earlier "drop pin" model has a 5/16 dia. rod end bearing in front with a seperate pin that drops through the hole in the top of the pedal rack into the bearing and then through a hole in a small bracket mounted to the inside face of the pedal bar. I hope this helps

Does yours resemble this one?
There used to be black plastic caps where the nuts are locked together at the end of the leveling screws.

There are at least 3 (and maybe 4) designs of Emmons' volume pedals out there, and the one you have is probably one of them.
I wouldn't worry about it as long as it works.  |

| Thanks guys, Its people like you that make the Forum so great. I cant at this time post pictures,my son has my camera but shotly, I will have them up. The reason I wanted the name is I am now the proud owner of a new Hilton, thanks to Keith and Fred Justice, and I no longer need three VPs.When I list it, it would be nice to have a name for it. But as Donnie said, a name is just a name as long as it works. I also may sell my Goodrich 120 when I can show pictures. The only thing missing in my nearly perfect setup is a Jerry Wallace 1900k TT. I will sell vps to get JWTT. Again, thanks fellow Forumites |
