What brands used extra changer fingers for half-stops?

Post by John McClung »

I've seen Pedalmasters and Carters that had an extra changer finger which allowed half stops on just about any pedal or knee lever, simply using the return spring of the extra finger, as I recall. Were there other psg brands that utilized that neat feature?

Love to see some photos as well!

MCI?

Might be a Bud Carter idea. He had some good ones.

Ian, thanks for the link to that thread THAT I STARTED! Advancing age is doing its thing, apparently, 8 months later and I'd completely forgotten I asked the exact same question. Doh! :? :cry:
