Nixon steel build

[simonscott]

A bit more progress this weekend.
filled all the unnecessary holes on the underside and gave it a few coats of lacquer.
Installed tracks for crossrod bearing blocks and fitted the pedal crossrods and bellcranks.
Also made 10 crossrod adjustable stops with an ear that will allow an assist spring to be added.
Next job, knee levers!

A bit more progress on the nixon,
Original pickup had very weak output and imbalance between strings.
I've been wanting to replace it for quite a while but as the string spacing is slightly wider than normal finding a replacement seems impossible.
So I have wound my own. based on Emmons specs. It came out at 18.3k, sounds like an Emmons and looks a bit like one so I'm well chuffed.

Well done for effort Simon you go places most of us fear to tread.
