What’s DK doing? Pt 4 (finale, for now.)
If you guessed making the twisted tuning gauge levers that attach to the pedal shaft, …you’re a nerd like me.
These are a stainless steel version and will be polished to a chrome-like finish before being installed on a rebuild currently in progress.

Supervisor photos for good measure.
