Parts for a 1970s Fender-ShoBud

[Walter Seaman]

Hi everyone,
I have a 1970s Fender-ShoBud E9 PSG 3 pedal, 4 knee lever, and I need a foot pedal and a bracket for it. If you know anyone who might have these please let me know.

My repair source, who goes by the email shobud, is out of commission for a while.

I have attached some pictures of what I want to find.

For the foot pedal I need a foot pedal which is like either of the two on the right of the photo showing 3 pedals. I need the kind where the head in 1.5", not the longer 2.5" head.

For the bracket, it is a bracket for the LKR knee lever, the bracket that holds that knee lever to the underside of the PSG.

I think the bracket I need is the bracket numbered 125-100-1 at this url but the seller has not responded to my inquiries:

The bracket is about 2.5" long and the metal piece that hangs down from the chassis and to which the knee lever attaches, broke off recently.

If you know where I might be able to find these kinds of pedals or brackets, I would appreciate hearing about it.

Thanks!

I found a supplier who was able to ship the bracket I needed. You can see the old bracket and the new one into the photo below.

I got the part from Michael Yahl at his PSG Parts, LLC store on line:

The bracket arrived three days after I ordered it and I put it the psg last night.
I am happy to recommend PSG Parts as a supplier.

The bracket installation was the first time I had tried doing what seemed to me like a "major" repair on the steel and it took some work for sure. But I did gitter done and the Fender-ShoBud is up and running once again.

For the foot pedal I had which had with the shaftt too long I found a tool & dye/machinist who took a half inch off each end of the shaft, and smoothed it out. Now it's like the other pedals and works fine.

Billy Knowles at Steel Guitar East made me a knee lever exactly like that. He may still have the pattern. 910 296 7428.
