Fender 210 video's

[Scott Howard]

Here is some great stuff on the workings of the Fender 210 . I will have to say it is some outside the box thinking and very interesting. This is around 40 years ago as I am not sure to the date nut must have been made in the real late 60's or very early 70's . Worth watching . I remember seeing it in a catalog.

Out of the box is right - not an axle in sight. I love it.

For a long time I have contemplated using knife-edge instead of rivets/bolts in my home-designed changers, so it was interesting.

Georg, Jerry Banton uses knife edge technology in the changer

I am thinking that this type of changer with a bar across the fingers and screws for all changes is a great idea. It reminds me of a Harlin Bothers Multikord but better .

What about a solid finger changer on one end for raises and a changer on the other end for lowers . I really like the idea of seperate changers for raises and lowers .

Just something to think about .

I am thinking that this type of changer with a bar across the fingers and screws for all changes is a great idea.

The only drawback with such a changer, as I see it, is that with multiple fingers/strings on one bar you get the non-engaged and the fully engaged change right, but no synchronicity in between these extremes. So, slow pedal push/release will tend to produce some strange-sounding changes.
