I have a Mullen PRP U12 and a MCI D10. I tune the E9 neck of the MCI the same as the first 10 strings of the U12 with the "Day" setup on the floor pedals. I use a knee lever to lower strin ...

Great idea. Thanks for sharing.

You could try heating the barrel with a mini propane torch and applying some penetrating oil. I had success with this technique when I worked on a Dekley with corroded parts that were frozen up. If ...

I agree with Dennis.

Just curious, Donny. What range are you referring to as lower impedance pickups? I also prefer the sound from the earlier years.

I had this issue with my Mullen PRP S12. I talked with Herby Wallace about it, and he told me to wind the string up to 12 turns around the tuner capstan before bringing it all the way up to pitch. I ...

Georgeboards has vinyl peel and stick fret boards in various lengths. They can be applied over an existing fretboard. I have used them on a steel I built, and they work great.

IMHO I would recommend getting a good used, name brand steel. Jeff Newman once said you'll never wear one out, so if you find a used steel that has been properly cared for, it will last you for years ...

Jeff Newman's E9/B6 is a good universal copedant. It can easily be used with most E9 and C6 instructional material.

Jim, Does the supplement cover C6?

That makes sense. It looks like she has the parts she needs. I changed an old Sho Bud crossover from Emmons to Day, and had everything I needed. Sorry if I misunderstood your question. If I rememb ...

I don't know what you mean by "Emmons style" If you are referring to a push/pull, I can see no way of doing this. Your steel appears to be a rack and barrel setup which is totally differe ...

I have purchased parts from PSG parts and have always been well satisfied. Reasonable prices and prompt shipping.

I agree with Mike. Deckleys are great guitars, just a little heavy. I have owned 2 of them, and was well pleased with each. They appear to be holding their value. They sound great and are easy to ...

If all you need are new tuning nuts, PSG Parts has them. All you need to do is unscrew the old ones, and screw on the new ones. I use my tuning wrench for doing this. PSG ships promptly, and their p ...

I play the Day setup. My ankle is much more comfortable with it as opposed to the Emmons setup. D and F levers on the right knee. Makes it easier to switch between mu U12 and my D10. It also keeps ...

Thanks for your help everyone. Smile

Can anyone tell me the size of the MCI knee lever adjustment screws? I want to replace mine with longer screws. I am having some arthritic problems, and need longer screws to get an angle that is ea ...

I used to get the Carvin catalog back in the 60's. They offered pedal steels back then. They offered both 8 and 10 string single and double neck models as I remember. They used a cable system somew ...

I agree with Lee. I hate to see these vintage guitars mutilated. It's like throwing half the guitar away.

Prayers for Gene and Family. Sad

I believe the pedals on a Harlin pedal guitar were intended to enable the player to change between non-pedal tunings, and were not intended to function like the pedals on a modern pedal steel. If you ...

I would like to see some more information on this model of Dekley. I've owned several Dekleys and worked on them, but never saw anything under the hood like these pictures show. They had all pull ch ...

I would use the first 8 strings gauges of a standard 10 C6 set as a guide. I personally prefer the G on top, but that's up to you. I don't think there would be any problem tuning them 1 fret lower. ...
