Anybody have experience (good or bad) using a one of these old Wright sweep/swivel top pedals?
I've never heard of them until today.

I tried to E Burt about it, but couldn't get the address right. I wondered how it got away from him, and if it was connected to the Wright steels, ala Bigsby.

As in, Bigsby built steels, and, pedals, as did your Dad.

How scarce are the Wright pedals?
Seems I'm not the only one to find them only a very rare opportunity.
