Anybody got an old Bud changer of this variety?

Well those are not the original two over one that ShoBud made.
When they were making the two over one and horizontally moving; in those pivots the top piece was a potmetal piece with a Groove that you hook the string into the groove.
Someone, which I know who probably did it; prob. old partner friend John Coop, would do this to those horizontal moving double raise single lower and he would put the 6061 aluminum top with the PIN that you hook the string on;
best sounding finger top ever made!
So you will probably never find
that my friend, that you have right
there, but double raise single lower changer;
just ask all any of those Nashville
guys that are taking guitars apart,
they're taking all the back necks
off shobuds and trying to sell C6
stuff to steel players, but if one
of them peels off the double raise
single lower fingers, well there you
go.

Ah gotcha! Thanks Ricky, Maybe I can get in touch with someone who maybe has the specs for all the components in the fingers. I have milling capabilities and access to a CNC machine so I might end up trying to recreate these fingers with the 6061 aluminum tops and steel string posts.

The only person alive that may have some specs for the horizontal moving fingers; would be Michael Yahl at www.psgparts.com ...as here is his machined made single/single with 6061 aluminum top he makes>

yeeehaaaa.....good luck; Michael is EXTREMLEY busy as he is basically the only person making exact parts for almost all pedal steel models.
