I have a 6140. I changed to E9 removed 2 pedals and added 4 knee levers. I like it just fine. It is rack and barrel, so it has the same issues as other rack and barrels.

Jimmy, are you going to make the pad too?

I have a 72 6140 built by Paul Franklin. It was originally a C6. It had 6 pedals and no knee levers. The 6139 had 3 pedals and 1 knee lever. I got 4 knee levers from John Coop and removed two pedals to make room.

That is Nice!!

Yes, it's the reverser. I didn't want to remove the pots and switch, but they were kind of in the way to put the lever where I wanted it.

That looks just like the ones I just bought online to experiment with. So far I've only sent one pair with the armrest I just shipped to New Mexico. Haven't heard how they are working out. They don't have to be real tight. I know the socket head bolts are much stronger, but that shouldn't be necessa...

With the legs added you can pull up a chair and work on it. Was going to ma...

After looking at the website link that Ian Worley posted, I followed it and it goes to my old website. The numbers are accurate, but I can't change or delete any thing on that site, and following the other pages that the tabs direct you to when they are clicked on, are also the old website pages. Th...

Thanks!

There are a few hotels on the same street going north within walking distance. We stayed at the Radisson. It may be called Crown Plaza now. There are a couple others near the arch also. They are all good.

Real nice, Ian!

Still selling Armrests for PSG. Had to re-do my website. Had to raise prices slightly. Added new PSG Products.

What a nice looking Guitar. What a lucky guy!

If anyone buys this pad and needs it modified to fit their psg, I can do that for you. Steve, what is the total length of this pad? I don't remember. I can also change the color for you.

Bobby Was fantastic, I'm really sorry to hear of his passing.

I make some 2 piece aluminum 7/8 diameter accessory clamp too that have a bolt in the end of them where you can mount about anything your imagination could conjure up.

Lee also had a pawn shop on Broadway in Nashville in late 70's or early 80's. I remember looking at a 6 string banjo he had there.

I have a 72 6140 built by Paul Franklin. It was set up for C6 when I got it, I converted it to E9. I removed 2 pedals and added 4 knee levers.

Also, I could fabricate almost anything you would want to attach to one or two of these clamps for whatever reason. I have the equipment. These clamps can be further machined, drilled, tapped, or custom made sizes for what ever you may need clamped solidly.

I raise to F with my RKR and like it. I lower the E with RKL. Works ok for me. Had a hard time hitting pedals and working knee at same time.

Thanks for the kind words Danny, Kenny, and Howie.
Thanks for the pictures Danny, that's a nice looking steel guitar!

I've got some of the Sho-Bud numbers on

Danny, I replied to your email earlier today. If you don't have it in your inbox, you may check the spam folder if you have one. For some reason, your email was in my spam folder. In engineering class I was taught that 1 7/8 hole would be one hole 7/8 bore, but 1-7/8 is one and 7/8. I changed it to ...

Thanks Erv, that is supposed to mean that one hole is 7/8 inch bore, not 1-7/8 inch bore. It never occured to me that someone might think that. That's the way life is though, you say one thing thinking one way, and someone else thinks you mean something else. My wife does that all the time!
