I just bought a Harlin MultiKord, and it's missing one of the cables for the pedal. The guitar has six pedals, only five cables. Anyone have any idea where I might be able to find a cable for this guitar? Thanks!

I possibly have one in the pile of old parts, but you may try a bicycle or motorcycle shop and possibly they have a Clutch or brake cable that could be adapted. Ed Naylor Steel Guitar Works.

I had one of those in the 50's and didn't like the cables, too sloppy. so I made up some welding rods, with hooks so the guitar can still be folded up and put in the case. Worked real well. Good luck....al

Go to the airport and talk to a A&P mechanic.They can fix you up .Aircraft cable is about as good as it gets and comes in many sizes

Forget about the rudder cables!!That's baloney. I used a Harlin Bros Multikord (still have it) when I recorded at the Sun Studio in Memphis. I soon learned that the cables were not strong enough for my tunings. I bought and installed screen door braces with turnbuckles. That solved the problem for good. === Hugh
