Yesterday a serious problem happened on my 67 Emmons D10 PP Bolt On .
When I changed the strings ,a pin on the finger of the changer which we hook the ball end of the string was flied off.
It is the first string of C6th. neck.
The pin was broken.
I'm living in Japan,it is not so easy to be reapired here.
Any suggestions will be very much appreciated.

Buck, I've fixed similar fiascos by carefully drilling out the remaining pin and replacing with a similar piece that you should be able to find at a hardware store. You may have to dis-assemble the changer, unfortunately. I'll let the Push-Pull gurus chime in but I think that's how that's usually solved. Or you could invent the next brilliant 9 string tuning...
