Yes the Semi Classic used the same levers and parts from what I remember... The changer on some might have been 2+1 instead of 2+2, but levers, bellcranks, shafts, etc were the same...

Paul,
As Bob said yes it is doable and parts are available.
I just added a knee to a nice Semi-Classic, and the holes for the cross-shaft and the taps into the rear aluminum apron were not predrilled.
I used a 90 degree angle adapter for my drill to drill the cross-shaft hole for the front bushing, and removed the rear aluminum apron to drill it out.
Maybe you will get lucky and it will come pre-drilled, as I believe it was only drilled out for the RKR and RKL from the factory. |

Yes, MSA Semi-Classics can have additional knee levers
added. My Semi-Classic, was predrilled to add the knee
levers. So I now have 3 pedals and 3 knee levers.

| The S10 MSA Classic with 4 knee levers, Had 2 reversers that was mounted to the back apron. Threaded holes in the back apron, And used a shouldered bolt to hold the reverser bar in position. The reversers were on LKL and RKL if my memory is right. At one time SGP in Texas web site showed pictures of the reverser parts. |

I added knee levers to one several years ago. I had to do a little machine work but I don't remember for sure what it was, and this was before I kept records. I also drilled out the end plate so every string had a double raise/double lower capability.
