I was thinking back about the 6 or so Buds I have owned, and their various mechanisms.. One got me thinking and I will defer to the Bud experts..
I had a Pro III.. It had aluminum necks, small pedals, and a double raise and lower changer.. However, it did NOT have the SP pot metal parts..
It had all 2 hole pullers, on round shafts.. Was this an oddball, or was Bud just using up its inventory of pull parts, on what was essentially a "late model" Bud?... bob

| I have one like that. On mine the changer pulling fingers have slots rather than pins for the string ball ends, which I believe means they are pot metal. Definitely a transitional period. Mine is dated 4/11/77, per Gene Haugh. |

Yes,,, mine was probably the same... I guess the fact that the pull parts were not pot metal does not indicate the changer fingers weren't.
Its been many years, but I do not recall the changer having pins, so it was probably a SP changer with earlier[BETTER!] pull parts...They should have kept that design for good, it was a nice set up.. Same changer to, just lose the damn pot metal, and they would have had a great setup... Instead the bean counters won, and it was pot metal.. Great design until it started breaking, and the round holes were egg shaped in a few years... bob
