Now you’re talking my language, old pedal steel guitars.
I have an old student mode, 3 pedal, 1 knee lever that I need to do a bit of restoring on. The boys in the band and I named her Clank, as the movement of the pedals comes through the pickup when plugged into an amp.
Ah! The pickup is microphonic. I’m restoring a ‘73 Shobud S-10. Updating the mechanics to 3 pedals, 5 knee levers and barrels behind four hole pullers. I play a ‘74 S-10 3 pedals 6 knee levers. Waiting on work to be done on my 1963 Shobud Fingertip. Can’t wait, but couldn’t work on that mechanism. It will also be a 3 and 5. Played a Kline Uni 12, 6 and 7 for 20 years, 6/7 nights a week plus studio work. I’m into it!
