I have an MSA that a student has that needs all it's pedal and knee levers put in their proper holes.
What I'm saying is I probably have a whole day at least to remove and replace the rods and locate and adjust the pedal/knee lever throws so as to tune them. I should mention this is a mid 1970's Classic model.
What would be a reasonable amount to charge them seeing they aren't wealthy, but I need to be fair to my time involved.
Thanks for any input on this matter.

Well, considering you want to give them a break.....if you're only going to have to re-rod and slide some bellcranks around on their shafts, I think 50 or 60 would be OK (very easy). If you have to also move bellcranks to different shafts, I'd say 75 (a hassle and time consuming). If you have to do all of the above, and move pedals and knee levers also, I'd say 100+ (that's a job!). JMHO though.

Thanks you are right on the numbers I used a few years ago to do just that on an old fingertip ShoBud.
Thanks for your opinion it makes me feel better about what to charge them.
