I used to have a Blanton with these bellcranks. I really liked tuning the pulls with these. A clever design. I think mine had a plastic sleave over the threads to help it not shift it's setting.

Michael Yuhl could make those up for you, if you don't find any.

I have some if you still need them.
I don't check the forum as often as I should. You can send me a PM or email to get me quicker.

That's great to know! Jim is only about 20 miles away. I'll keep him in mind if I need anything custom built.

Well, now 3 1/2 years later, I have 14 Blanton Bell Cranks to sell. I ordered 11 from Jim Flynn at Lonestar Steel Guitar in 2011 and 3 more in 2012. They were not quite the quality of the originals and I eventually made my own. Afterwards, I reworked Jim's parts to get them as close to original as possible. I'll sell them for $20 each plus USPS postage. Send me an email or call the number at the top of this message. Thanks.
