my post om pedal extensions i forgot too say the
aluminum fence spindle;s make great k/leaver extensions
for emmons and derby guitar's.

JERRY THANKS ,FOR YOUR HELP.MY SPELLING IS BAD,BUT I CAN STILL COUNT THE YEARS. WE HAVE BIRTHDAYS COMEING UP ON JULY FIRST AND THE SECOND, HOPE WE MAKE IT.MINE WILL BE 97 YEARS,

this is for you folks that wanted to know where to get the metal rectangular tube to make the pedal exstenions.you can get the aluminum tubing at menards lumber company,in the fence dept. it is listed as aluminum fence spindle,they are one inch wide one half inch deep 32 inch long.cost less than 3 d...

this msa guitar was built by bud carter, not carter guitar company'the number is 2c.64.20.need to know how old it is.

you might try pushing the shaft back on the pin , and see if the other end clears the bushing.maybe the way they were installed at the factory.

I HAVE USED METAL COLLARS WITH LOCK SCREWS ON THE BACK LEGS.

ANY ONE KNOW WHEN MY MSA DOUBLE TEN SHORT KEY HEAD CARTER BUILT GUITAR WAS BUILT. NUMBER 2 C 64 20.

BOB,IREMEMBER THE STEEL PLAYERS FROM LONG A GO.OUR BAND WAS THE OPENING ACT FOR EDDIE ARNOLD A FEW TIMES,AND I GOT TO KNOW LITTLE ROY WIGGINS. I HAD TO STEEL SOME OF HIS LIKS,BECAUSE OUR LEAD SINGER WAS A ARNOLD FAN.

try to get some alcohol run down the control shaft,takes some time ,but it works some time.I US A NEEDEL FILLED WITH DENATURED ALCOHOL.

BOB,DONT PUT YOUR SELF DOUND.YOU LEARNED HOW TO SOLVE YOUR PROBLEM, I AM ALMOST 97 YEARS OLD AND I STILL SEEK ADVICE FROM GOOD FORUM MEMBERS.

MIKE, WHAT IS THE PROBLEM WITH OLD POT.

THE LAST TIME I TALKED TO DERREL STHEPHENS HIS NUNBER WAS 903/278/5832 OR 903/ 792/ 8590.

STEVEN MY EVANS 500 HAS THREE MODUALS ,POWER IN ,POWER AMP OUT AND PREAMP IN.REAL EASEY TO WORK ON.THE MODUALS JUST PLUG IN.REMOVE ONE SCREW AND PULL THEM OUT,IF YOU NEED ONE REPAIRED JUST MAIL IT TO DERRELL STEPHENS.

TRY CLEANING THE INPUT WITH DENATURED ALCOHOL.

TRY CLEANING THE CONTROL WITH DENATURED ALCOHOL

what is wrong with the amp ,is it a f.e. t.500 evan;s ..

you might try glue and wood filler mixed ,then fill the hole and then,put the screws in before the filler dry's.it might work.

i use half of a spring close pin,the wood end are shaped just right.

HOW MEANY OF YOU STEEL PLAYER'S KNOW THE LYRICS
TO ALL OF THE SONGS YOU PLAY ,ALL I NEED IS THE MELODY AND THE CHORDS.

you need to have some one to reajust the c pedal.

IF YOU CAN SEE A SMALL OPEN SPACE BETWEEN THE BAR AND THE FRET ,YOU WILL BE ON THE FRET.TRY IT AND SEE IF I AM RIGHT.

JACK DO YOU HAVE ANY STRING RATTLE ON THE FIRST FRET,WITHOUT GAUGED ROLLERS.

TRY ALIEN TAPE AS SEEN ON TV.

I REMEMBER SOME ONE SAYING EMMONS USED A HAIR DRYIER TO WARM HIS GUITAR TOP AND BOTTOM.BEFORE PLAYING.

BOB,THAT 10 DOLLAR RECORDER SOUNDED BETTER THAN ANY OF MY HIGH PRICE AMPS.EVEN MY NASHVILLE 1/.12
