Looks like a C6 guitar currently setup as an E9 3 pedals and 1 knee lever. Easy to reconfigure with parts.

Roger, I'd think the Carter Magnum bellcranks on page 3 of Michael's psg website might be a workable alternative to the Emmons parts.

FWIW, you can use any similar pullkit from any guitar with 3/8" (?) Square cross shafts ! Then,if you find Carter parts you can restore its originality.
