| I have a Mullen with a pin missing on one of the changer fingers. Are those pins available or do I have to buy a new finger? Thanks |

if it's the roll pins used to hold the ball end of the strings on. They should be a 1/16 roll pin and are readily available in an automotive parts place. The ones I have here are...
thanks

| I did talked to Mullen and they are checking to see if they have any. Sounds like the newer Mullens no longer use this system. May have to just get a new Mullen. |

Removing a broken roll pin is sometimes very tricky. The tension makes them very hard to pull out of the anchor hole.
If you look at the finger and measure carefully. Is it possible to drill a hole, Just above or below the broken pin. Check closely, If above, Will the string winding come to far up on finger. If below, Will it inter fear with any other mechanism like a split tuning screw.
I have seen a few fingers that pin has been replaced above or below the broken pin successfully fitted. |
