I am specifically looking to add a compensator to my 6th string A pedal as it drops quite a bit when A is pressed. So I am looking for a rod and bellcrank (pic of bellcrank below) for Franklin S10. I am also looking for the pedal rod attachers to the pedals as shown in 2nd photo



thanks in advance!

I make the parts your looking for except for the pedal rod ball clip. These can be installed without removing the cross shaft and are held inplace by 2 set screws.
Email me if your interested.

This should be what you need for the pedal clip. 'In line' as opposed to the side-mount ones.

FWIW, note that on every all-pull guitar I've ever tried this compensator on, there is an unintended and unwelcome consequence.
The compensator is simple and effective. But if you were to keep the A pedal down and roll into the B pedal and then release the B pedal, the open 6th string will return sharp. The B pedal allows the compensator to creep and it stays sharp until you release the A pedal.
I've never fully understood what's happening but I've seen confirmation of this from other people here. The several times I've been bugged enough by 6th string drop to try the compensator, I've ended up removing it for this reason.
I do NOT have any experience with a Franklin.
