Dekley question

Jerry Dragon · From: Gate City Va.

I have 5 knee levers. The one you push up on has been added, the other four are factory. It lowers both B strings. I am not sure if they should be lowered a whole or half step? I guess that is subjective. The issue is when I let off it, the B string comes back up sharp every time. Where does this newbie to PSG mechanical issues begin?
There are a few pics of the undercarriage in this thread.

In the middle at the top, of the first picture, it looks like a stop for both ways, I am not sure what it is. But, the screw going through it on the right side of it with the nut on it; the nut was totally lose. I tightened it down for now and did not change the adjustment with the screw.

A LKV that lower both B strings would normally only lower those two strings one half step down to to Bb.

It may or may not give a C note on those strings if LKV is used together with the A pedal.

Make sure the raise fingers that moves the B strings arent overtuned. There should be some slack at the nylon tuners when the pedals are left untouched.

Both the raise fingers and lowering fingers should be resting at the same spot when no levers or pedals are beeing used.

A picture of the changer mechanism, nylon tuners and raise/lower finger would help clarify what might be going on with string coming up sharp when it shouldnt.
