Well I mainly set up and adjust all makes of pedal steels for guys around mid Texas; and so I do play it and the most awesome thing I've noticed about the "Justice" is he uses the 6061 alumi ...

Thanks Rebel; and I'm lucky that I have seen that before at some point; but now many many can see the brilliance of awesome music delivery, of both Emmons and Laney.

Most likely the Buzz is the wiggle of the roller; makes a buzz sound. I always drop a bead of 3&1 oil, right on top of the string/roller and it runs down each side of Roller and Quiets the BUUUUZZ ...

All pot metal has been replaced
Ok Bill I was mistaken; as '76 had NO pot metal originally except for finger top. So since you said that; I downloaded the pic where I can see the pedals and I thought ...

Without seeing any pics of Bill's 12-string mechanics underneath or changer end; I'll say it looks to be right at 1976--ish
