I just wanted to let those of you know who play the old Emmons push-pulls that my friend, musician and engineer, Dean Chance of Houston, TX is now building brand new changers to the original specs. All parts are CNC milled and are flawless.
Rick Price, of Utopia, TX installed a new set of Dean's changers on my 1969 Emmons, and it's absolutely like having a NEW guitar. Rick does excellent work and his mechanical knowledge of the Emmons originals is unsurpassed as far as I'm concerned.
So, Rick and Dean are the guys to contact if you need changers or work on your push-pull.  |

I've never had the need to replace an entire P/P changer. I just pull them out, clean them, polish the heads (en masse) and turn or replace the changer axle. They are good for another 20-30 yrs.
I did replace ONE raise finger after snapping off the string-pin, but that was for aesthetic reasons only while doing a total rebuild. I played it for a year before changing it out, by drilling a new hole and tapping in a roll-pin.....it still performed flawlessly. |
