Stringmaster Blender wheels
Does anyone know where I can get a replacement "blender wheel" for a Stringmaster?
Ron Victoria made a bunch. I'm sure he'd gladly send you one.

Ron,
Thank you for the good service you have done for us Forumites with the Stingmaster Blender Wheel replacement wheel...
I know you have a Stringmaster Bridge Cover replacement project underway too!! This has got to be a lot harder to make!
Just wondering how this endeavor is coming along?
Rgds,
Ron

Hi Don, Stu,
Welcome to the best "Biggest Little Forum in the World".
I too have a "55" Stringmaster D8, push button. To clarify, what exactly is wrong with the plate? Or is it the bridge cover you are referring to?
The truth be known, this hardware is very hard to replace. You may find a part you need on E-bay, but you will have to watch it constantly.
If the part is not too bad, you may be able to find a good metal smith machinist to refurb/repair as may be needed. Let us know.....Meanwhile, welcome and stay warm. TX
Rgds,
Ron

Here is a link to a pic of it.
I took off the cover so you can see better.

Thanks for any help in locating one.

Don,
The bottom plate itself looks OK in the picture, although I see a rectangle shape for the string ends on the right. Don’t know what that is, but it looks OK.
I don't know if you took them off, but the Push Buttons, 3 screws and the pick up Blender wheel (at the brass vertical post behind the bridge) are missing from the bottom plate. The Blender wheel can be obtained from Ron Victoria on this post.
At any rate, if you haven't done so, on this forum go to ‘WANTED TO BUY’ section and place a request there. Further, keep checking ‘FOR SALE AMPS & ACCESSORIES’. Often times, you’ll find (sadly) Stringmaster guitars that are being parted out. I found a Push Button assembly mechanism as a backup for my ‘55’ Fender D8. Same with E-bay. You may find parted items there as well.
Hang in…keep trolling and networking; you’ll get what you need. I hope you can save this one!! It’s well worth the effort! TX
Rgds,
Ron
