Hi everybody,
I'd like to reduce the travel on a couple of knee levers on my 1976 sho bud pro 1, but I couldn't figure out yet how to do that.. Anyone got some tips and tricks, or maybe other threads that focus on this matter?
Thanks!! |

This is the lever of which the travel should be adjusted (diminished)... |

Bart,
Adjust the socket head cap screw towards the back of the shaft actuator to lessen the travel.

But be aware that you may need all that travel in order to keep the change in tune. At least I found that I did on my single/single Sho-Bud Pro 1. Here's what I learned. Maybe it's wrong and others can offer better advice:
- slacken the retaining nut and maybe even increase the space between the lever and the stop to make sure you have room to work with
- Tune the open string to pitch
- engage the lever (or pedal) until you're just beyond the change you want (flat for a lower, sharp for a raise).
- bring the stop screw to that point and set it with the retaining nut
- use the rods to fine tune from there |
