Local used model. Is an 8/4 D10. Just want to make sure I can get parts if I ever want another lever or 2 or more pulls. Also how easy are they to work on assuming some level of mechanical aptitude?

Dustin- I recently made my Excel from a Universal 12 string 6 levers to a 10/5.
Maybe got this in 1990.
Here is a pic of the parts from it for comparison.
The knee lever that I don't use us still on the guitar.

Hey Dustin,
In 2017 I ordered a vertical knee lever for my mid eighties Excel from Mitsuo. I was a bit nervous as all he asked for was a pic of the undercarriage, no need to take measurements. Got the lever within a month. All needed parts and tools (a metric allen wrench and open-end wrench) were included. It fits right in and was super easy to install. Furthermore, that vert lever feels just right.
