3 legs needed - '47/48 Fender Dual 8 Professional
Posted: 1 Mar 2022 7:47 pm
A music store owner/ friend called me Saturday and had a Fender steel he thought I might want - top was refinished in clear lacquer, pickups are shot and he didn't even know where to start. He didn't want to fool with it, had gotten a playable Stringmaster from the owner as well which is on the sales floor.
He said it had a tweed case and even the springs were good on the latches...and I could have it for...well, let's just say I was there in 15 minutes!
Pickups are going off to Tom Brantley as soon as he can do them (one is nonexistent except - thankfully - for the magnets; the other has the typical collapsed bobbin and broken coil. I normally refinish them if they have been stripped and refinished, but the ash is so nice I'm leaving it alone.
But I still need a source for 3 legs. It has the original 9/16" diameter by 1/2" deep flanges - 4 at one time but changed back to 3.
None of my Fender pedal steel, Emmons or mic stand parts are the correct diameter and/or thread. I'd prefer adjustable legs so I'm not stuck in one seated position. nothing fancy - in fact I'd prefer used ones both to look correct and help with my nonexistent budget!
Thanks -
