This ZB actually used to be tinted blue, but faded to a natural finish long before I acquired it. I find it just doesn't fit me, so I'm letting it go to someone else.

It's got 8 pedals, 4 knees. It ...

Do you lubricate the threads on the changer rods and turnbuckles, say with Tri-Flow P.T.F.E.? That would make it easier to adjust them.

And do you chase the threads with taps and dies? That would t ...

Eric,

Brilliant! I'll try tapping a temporary axle in to support the other changers while I remove the stubborn finger. Looks like 3/16". Correct?

My gratitude to you knows no bounds for t ...

Eric, before getting your reply, I disconnected raise and lower rods, as well as the return spring from string 8, E neck. The changer seemed to move freely. I reassembled the unit and tried pushing th ...

Latest bright idea: I'm going to try disconnecting everything - changer rods, tuners, return spring - from the string 8 changer, lubricating it and wiggling it around without removing it from the whol ...

Eric, Richard -

Thank you for your responses! Excellent ideas. I'm flipping the center mount and re-drilling the bellcranks. When I pulled the center mount I saw that it really needs polishing to f ...

Yes, the screws in the flat crossbars, attaching to the center strap (or whatever). On P2 (the B pedal), the first 10-32 sc ...

Forget "There are three on each assembly." I mean there are three assemblies on the E neck.

I'm now finding that the 10-32 screw holes in both the crossbars for pedals B & C (the screw holes closest to the front of the guitar) and center strap are stripped. There are three on each assemb ...

The baffle has been sold so please close this thread.
Thank you very much.

If you'd like to change your Twin Reverb from two 12 in. speakers, this 15 in. speaker baffle from Mojotone will allow you to do it; just add speaker of choice.
It's in excellent condition; the vint ...

Love McMaster-Carr!

Makes sense, thank you.
Regarding cotter/hitch/whatever pins, I went to Ace Hdwre to pick up some. They seemed a bit large: .47 diam x 19/32 length. Diameter seems good; length seems long. Where did ...

Thanks again, all; I'm more comfortable about how the changer rods attach to the yokes, though both examples I've seen in this thread have the changer rod/yoke connections the other way.
Eric, when ...

Thanks Nic! Very thoughtful of you to make this resource available to all.
Be well.

John,
I tabbed out that soulful John Hughey solo in the Time Jumpers' version of Sweet Memories with Dawn Sears singing.
I was going to post it in the Tab section, then saw that you'd posted the JH ...

Thanks, Tony. I'll make the DB available to a guitarist who can appreciate its qualities. (It's not you, dear; it's me.) That hum? Nothing a little tequila won't solve at gig levels. <grin>

Tony, I heard that hum and was wondering what could be done about it. Looks like not much without major surgery.
I don't intend to force this amp into something it's not; if we don't organically fal ...

I picked up a used Peavey Delta Blues 1-15 amp. With an output of 30 watts, I was thinking I'd use it for steel for smaller gigs. It's lacking a certain sparkling clarity in the highs, no matter what ...

I found it difficult to reassemble the crossbars and get the machine screws into the center strap, if that's what it's called. (If a picture would help to identify the parts, there are a few earlier i ...

I can't thank you enough for the info, Eric. Yes, tapping the holes would be a lot of tedious work. Glad to hear it's unnecessary.
My sheet metal screws are all in a bag, unsorted. I'll just have to ...

OK, after rehabbing the Kluson tuning machines with Naptha, then Sil-Glyde (a NAPA product recommended by Lynn Stafford), I'm ready to reinstall them into the... uhh, pieces that hold the tuners, what ...

Ah, food coloring! Is that where all those tasty licks came from? (Ouch)
