I have one that I took apart years ago to tighten things up in the mechanism. It has sat so long that I managed to lose any pics I took so I need a few shots of the underside to help me along.

I contacted BMI some time ago and all they sent was a tuning map.

This model has six pedals and five knee levers.

So... If anyone here has one, could they please shoot me a full shot (highest resolution possible) of the undercarriage and one at an angle to show the rod locations on the bellcranks.

This would be greatly appreciated. When I get it back together, it will be posted here for sale.

Thanks.

Lee - is it one of the double changer push-pull keyless? I have one of those. If yours is the same I could take some pics of mine later today, though I'm not sure how helpful they will be. It's an unusual mechanism and a really compact guitar. I switched mine from Day to Emmons when I got it, it just took a bit of trial and error to adjust timing and get all the rods located so they fit past one another and function smoothly.

Ian yes that little push pull is not for the faint of heart but dose it ever work good.

As far as I can tell, all levers are pull. Any ideas as to what it's worth? All the parts are there. The case is trashed.
