OLD FINGERS WANTED!
No, I'm not a cannibal...
I want some old fingers, finger assemblies, changer parts, etc so i can look real closely at how they work. Wrap-arounds, push-pull, anything.
I DON'T NEED OR EVEN WANT FULL SETS - ONSIE-TWOSIES FINE!
I'm a tinkerer and just want to see how each style works.
Bent, broken, worn, corroded, etc. is just what i'm looking for.

BMI changer fingers
Hello David, might have what you are looking for. I have a 70s BMI with the older "pin" type fingers. Two of the pins broke and I ordered a new set of of the newer style slotted fingers from BMI (double raise/lower). The old and new ones are exactly the same except for the new ones having slots cut in them instead of using the roll pins. I slotted the two fingers with the broken pins to use temporarily. They do work but the windings of the strings come up just a little high. Let me know if you need more info or a pic. How about $25 for two of them shipped (assuming you're in the continental U.S.).
Thanks and Best Regards

Duh!
Yes, Tennessee is in the continental U.S. (last time I looked). Not as quick as I used to be. Pretty close to GA. so make it $20 shipped.

Thanks David
Hi David and thanks. Now I'll have to get off my butt and install that new set of slotted fingers I ordered. They've been waiting for about six months. I'll get back to you via email.

David, I seldom look at this section of the Forum. I suspect many others do the same. Why don't you frame your question in a different manner, and post it in the Pedal Steel section? I'll bet you'll reach a lot more people! The worst thing that could happen is that b0b might move it back here! But that's why I suggest takin' a slightly different approach such as, "I want to learn about changers."
