I have a Fender Artist S10 but the Changer is all apart. Its like a puzzle trying to figure out how to put it all together. Does anyone have any experience with these maybe a Diagram or an explanation of how to put this back together??? I am willing to pay for this service!
Thanks,
Mike Marsh

Assuming yours is the all-pull 'Artist' (as opposed to the student model which is pull-release), the pot metal fingers and the stamped steel scissor assemblies just stack in pairs against the fulcrum edge in the tail piece as in the picture below.

It should be fairly obvious how they go together, the finger goes on the side of the assembly with the little bent ear on the lowering scissor, the bigger notch in the top of the scissor faces toward the tuners, adjacent to the corresponding notch in the finger. On the underside, it's similar to a later model Sho-Bud. There is a 'comb' piece that provides the stops for the scissors and a connection point for the lower return springs.

Here are some pics from the forum, there are tons more if do a search

Did you get it sorted Mike? I was looking for something else and stumbled across this, a diagram of the Artist changer https://patents.google.com/patent/US4080864A/en
