My parts arrived in spite of Tornado Alley!!!

Here's the entire layout of parts from James for converting your single RKL bud into something that works! All 4 new levers with linkage to angle the LKL and also put all levers on the lower rear shelf where they should have been in the first place. Great job James and thanks Teresa for trying to keep all my orders straightened out. Don

Okay Lee, here are some pix of the linkage, notice the huge weld glob on the C pedal pull arm. The arm of the A pedal is kinda bent, all linkage is loose in spite of adjustments. I think I can add a shot of the single RKL - it's mounted too far towards the changer for me.

This guitar was purchased from a lady in her 70's who only hauled it to church on Sundays (all 54 lbs.) So at least it came without any cigarette burns on the shelf and no STP stickers either!!!! Don

I took these bottom shots for James Morehead for reference, when my battery charges, I will post some pix of the guitar from the front, it's real purdy.

Don - James did send you a layout sheet and step-by-step instructions with that pan-o-parts. Didn't he? :lol:

James - You're right. That is half the fun of it. That's what I kept telling myself, years ago, when I converted my push/pull S-12 Emmons from Extended E9 to a U-12, by adding 4 more pedals. Let's see now, Tab A goes into Slot B, but not until steps 1a through 3b have been completed, following 3 trips to the hardware store and 2 trips to the plumbing shop.... :\
