MSA Bell cranks wanted

Hi
Does anyone have any surplus new style MSA bell cranks? I’m needing only the one at the moment but would take a few if they were available.
Thanks

Here’s a link to the MSA description. They are 13 position cranks and open ended on one side to fit easily. I wouldn’t use any other make when the originals are so good. Thanks John.

I could send you a 13 hole square shaft crank but it probably not be the latest MSA available one, If you are such a loyal purist then your solution is to order one from MSA but I don't think it will make you play any better ( I could be wrong) ;) , the main difference tween getting one from MSA or me is .... mine is free and could be in tomorrows post (always happy to help a fellow of the bar) all I would ask is ..if you don't use it then send it back all my spare parts are precious to me... including the bits that have already dropped off!

Hi John
That’s such a generous offer that only a fool would refuse! I am a bit OCD about my new machine but who wouldn't be when they get their dream guitar. Your crank would get the current mission sorted and I am very grateful. I’ll PM you my address.
I’ll probably be ordering some parts from MSA at some point anyway as I’ve discovered how wonderful compensation rods are and tinkering is half the fun so if yours becomes redundant I’ll get it back to you.
Thanks a lot
Calum
