Pedal Steel Magician Needed

[Phil Howe]

New member with an American MSA Red Baron in need of repair. It has been playing fine but recently the A, B and C pedals and knee pedal are not behaving as they should. The pull mechanics are beyond my competence levels, does anyone know of a pedal steel engineer/wizard/genius who can fix it? I'm based in Hampshire.

Hi Phil, welcome to the forum, I would be glad to look at it for you but i am about 50 miles north of London, maybe Jim Pritchard could help he is a lot closer to you.

Hi Phil, and welcome to the forum.

Thanks for the chat earlier today, and look forward to seeing you, and your steel, next week.

John, thanks for the recommendation mate, always available to help out when/where I can.

Thank You.

Jim and John have been so helpful in addressing the issues I had with my pedal steel. JIm, thanks for your perseverance, candid comments and forensic insights, and thank you, John, for your time and wisdom and yes, I can surely recommend you both for pedal steel fixes as well as purchases, you have such a passion and knowledge for pedal steel. And anyone who has two pedestal drills and a lathe in their kitchen who can design and make steelies is to be respected. Many thanks for the technical expertise and the tea and biscuits. We need magicians like you.
