Farris...I am going to send you 2 knee lever kits this week for your inspection and approval. These are plated and polished. Word of mouth is still the best advertising! I have a friend with a nice digital camera who is going to take some pictures for me showing the origional parts along side of mine for comparison. The difference in quality will be obvious. Thank you for your confidence and trust in what I am doing. Your Sho~Buddy John

After all the emails,about the grover tuners,i turn it over to John. different ones wanting to know about the grover 18to 1 nickel tuners,looks like part number 229 and 230. they are super nice guys. ask RICKY DAVIS,don't know where John offers them yet, but they are the best.

Ricky Davis · Post by **Ricky Davis** » 8 May 2005 4:38 pm

Oh YES indeed Farris. The newly made Grover Romatics with 18:1 ratio and nickle plated like the old originals, are the BOMB man. One of the Sho-bud's I had here; had the even older style Grovers, that were coming apart and the owner really wanted new tuners; so Al Brisco said he just got in the new Grover 18:1 romatics and nickle just like the originals; so he sent them here and I put them on and OH MY GOSH!!> That is the finest tuner I ever felt and looks exactly like the originals. But much much better in fine tuning. Absolutely no slip in the gears one way or the other; and you just turn it and it is the smoothest turn with the smallest about of tuning I ever felt....Just Awesome.
So Al Brisco has them; and Duane and Jeff told me they now have them; and heck, I bet even ole Seymour has them.
Just make sure you ask for the Grover Romatic 18:1 "nickle" and washer and nut-sleeve that goes with them.
And if your wondering: "Well how much do they cost Ricky"?? DON'T wonder; just know that they are PRICELESS in Feel and will be the best tuner you ever turned man.
Oh and I didn't even ask> John Coop; do you have them??

John Coop · Post by **John Coop** » 8 May 2005 10:14 pm

The only Grovers I have are origional "Chromed" ones. I wish I had some nickle ones! The ones I have are new old stock. But, I have not had any problems with them. JOHN

John Coop · Post by **John Coop** » 8 May 2005 10:27 pm

Farris...My number is...765-649-2824 E-Mail is probably the best since I spend sooooooo much time on line answering E-Mails, it's hard to get through sometimes. Before to long I will get a second line put in for the computer. I am not setup for credit cards yet. Probably by mid summer. By getting the Sho~Bud parts catalog out to folks, if you E-Mail me and say I need 4 of # 315, I know that you are talking about the 2 hole rod pullers used on the mid 70's Sho~Buds. It takes the guess work out of ordering because each person will know exactly what part the other one is talking about. COOP

Farris Currie · Post by **Farris Currie** » 9 May 2005 6:31 am

John,is part number 215 available yet?machined or plain? could use either one,but would love it ready to use.Thanks John

Farris Currie · Post by **Farris Currie** » 9 May 2005 7:13 am

John Coop · Post by **John Coop** » 9 May 2005 11:41 pm

Farris...I have a couple of # 215's that came off of a ProII. Are you looking to exchange a keyhead? As far a a change over kit, would this be the standard 8 & 4? What would the setup be? Are you looking to trade in the old "Rack & Barrel" stuff? Price would depend on the setup. Also, would you need new Grovers for the keyhead? Thanks. John

Farris Currie · Post by **Farris Currie** » 10 May 2005 4:39 am

WOW,I set here not hardly believeing all the stuff you said!didn't know my old basket stuff could be traded.and sure never expected such details. well,i guess its time for me to get to the drawing board huh.
Thanks John,will let you know soon by email.
