I found a guitar with an Emmons name plate but it just doesn't look right. Did they ever use 8 hole bellcranks?

AFAIK, not in regular production. P/p 2 hole, Legrande 4 hole and Legrande 11 14 hole bellcranks.

You need to put up more pictures.
It's hard to tell from the rump.

Pictures of the front, top, and undercarriage will help identify the guitar.

This guitar has Emmons fret boards, an Emmons name plate and metal necks The bell cranks are 8 holes. The end plate does not look correct. Here is a photo of the underside.

There is nothing Emmons, of any design, in that photo.

The undercarriage resembles the ones that Duane Marrs made.
