If you own an old guitar, maintenance and service will keep your changer returning true. See what WE see, working on these old 'buds.

Saves the price of a distortion pedal ......
Maybe they were using maple syrup as a lubricant? |

| Looks like they didn't know you were supposed to put legs on it and played it Japanese style down in the carpet. That or he just really patted his foot hard while playing. |

James,
Looks like a pretty good argument for using dry lube, instead of something that stays wet, and attracts, and holds, the "Fuzz!"

| Yeah, but that fuzz is original.... greatly enhancing the value of the guitar. |

Quite a "collectors" item.

Are the changers difficult to take apart and put back together? I'd like to be able to clean mine.

Leslie, It's pretty intensive--that's WHY changers get neglected, most folks do not want to "go there".

Believe it or not, yes. The changer was so gummed up, it qualifies for "seized up". I'll post some pics when I get it back together.

That looks flocking nasty for sure, I'd like to see it after James works his magic on it. |

I think it'd be a good idea if someone would put together a course on how to maintain the mechanics of a PSG. Not all of us have access to guitar techs who know anything about PSGs.

It looks like somebody vomited cat hair, dog house lint, and Robitussin into the changer.
Aren't cleaning jobs like that supposed to be the ones that only illegal immigrants are willing to do?

Herb, I just mentioned the GOOD part. You should have seen the undercarriage. At least the puke was dried enough to use a screw driver to scrape it off.

| Didn't someone post a video last year using a high-pressure hose to clean of an Emmons? I think that's the standard method for removing dried puke from the underside of a steel. |
