| Hello everyone! Recently I have been thinking about selling my 74-75 3 x 1 (no decal)Pro 1. It has been sitting in the case for about 3 1/2 years now. Last night I got her out and began evaluating what it would take to get her ready to sell and I have decided that the changer is gonna have to come apart to give it a good cleaning. Could/Would any of you who have done this mind giving me a step by step method for disassembly/reassembly? What kind of parts cleaner is the best for this job? Just looking at the under carriage would make many of you cringe in horror so I have my work cut out for me!! Thank you for any help!! |

Dan, Go to a bicycle repair shop and buy a spray can of degreaser. You were gonna take the changer off, right?
The grease and dirt will just run off it.
Let dry and re-lube.

Probably best to stay away from bike lubes that contain wax.

Lynn Stafford turned me onto using carburetor cleaner. It comes in a 1 gallon can with a dip basket and is usually sold at automotive stores.
Load the basket with the gnarly parts, lower it into the solution, remove in 20-30 min, then rinse and dry. The parts will be pristine. |

| Thank you everyone! I spoke with James yesterday and he lined me out. I got the guitar completely disassembled last night. It took me about 2 hours on account of all the pictures I took! Things were pretty nasty in there. My hands looked like I was rebuilding an old engine! I have my work cut out for me this weekend. I will post some before and after pics when complete. |
