About four years ago, I took my 1970 push-pull apart to clean it up; I'm just now getting it put back together. I think one reason I waited so long was that I dreaded encountering any problems, even though I took very detailed notes and took some photos of the (mostly) still-assembled undercarriage. Well, I just encountered my first problem...that I know of. I have installed all the cross-rods with no real problems until I reached the very last one. Could someone be so kind as to email me a good picture of the assembled RKL lever (mine raises E9 String 1 a whole step).
Thanks in advance,
Jason |

There wasn't any way that I could see to send attachments through this e-mail system, so I'll put a couple of mine up here...
Mine doesn't do what yours does - my RKL is my E-lower - but hopefully this helps. Is there anything more specific you need to see? |

This may or may not help, but I use two RKL's, and here's the best picture I have of my arrangement.

Also a Zum D10, a Mullen RP, and a restored Rose S10, named the "Blue Bird". Also, I have acquired and restored the plexiglass D10 MSA Classic that was built as a demo in the early '70s.

Thanks, fellas. The crossrod on mine had too much play in it, and it caused the bellcranks to want to tangle up in the small rods from the changer springs. Anyway, I put a spring in the hole that accepts the crossrod and fixed a bushing at the other end so that the crossrod wouldn't slip back and forth. So now I can advance to my next problem...as soon as I find it.  |

I used the Emmons book written by Clem Schmitz. You can get it direct from the Emmons guitar company.
