Anybody know of a good steel mechanic in the Seattle area? I've got a Zum U-12 that needs tweaking beyond my limited capacities. Tried searching past posts, but apparently my capacities in that area are limited as well... Thanks!

check out the steel jam this weekend near portland, they are having a mechanics workshop too, maybe your issues could be tackled there, plus the jam is fun.

I don't think there is a go-to guy here in Seattle.

There is some mechanical work that some of the Portland guys are offering to fellow players before the steel jam this Sunday. The scope of your work may exceed the time available but you might learn some things that would allow you to tackle the tweaking yourself, or meet someone that could help you outside of the workshop.

Who knew there were 2 U-12s on Mercer Island? Laughing

plus you could visit the sierra workshop, i think Ive heard that they occasionally do tech work on other steels

seattle has some good players, but the portland area keeps kickin our butts.

Sad to say, I can't make it to Portland this weekend. I'd be interested in contact info. for Lynn Stafford if anyone has it. Or if anyone discovers a good steel tech at the Portland jam, I'd appreciate you passing on the name. Thanks!

Mercer Island - underground U-12 cell here...

Lynn did great work on my MSA U-12, and he's a great guy to work with!
