My E raise and E lower (on left knees) are right on target. I cannot, however, get my C pedal raise to get up to the F#. I used to be able to adjust that tiny collar on the rod to achieved this. After tinkering with this for a while, I realized it wasn't doing any good because the finger was already hitting the end of the changer, thus not having the ability to go sharp enough.

Because it is the highest pull on the string, it seemed most logical to tune the keyhead to achieve the F# while the C pedal is engaged. I then utilized the lower endplate tuner to tune to open E. At that point I adjusted the F raise with the appropriate thumb roller underneath. Unfortunately, the ramification of this is that the E lower doesn't get down to D# now. Lowering the upper endplate tuner only works so far as eventually it is too far out.

Is my logic faulty?

Is there another E-D# adjustment on the rod?

The bottom line is that I either can't get high enough on the C pedal; or low enough on the E lower knee. This wasn't always the case.

Any help would be greatly appreciated. I can provide pictures if it would help.

Everything is moving freely and no rods appear to be rubbing or crossing.

First I tuned the changer manually. I tuned the raise to F#. Then the lower to D#. I felt resistance on the lower, so I loosened the collar. Bingo. No problem. I then tuned the E at the lower endplate screw.

Next I tuned the C pedal F# pedal at the rod collar. No problemo.

Therefore, now the D# lower and F# raise are on target.

Then I tightened the collar for the F raise. slowing using the thumb screw adjuster, I got it close to F, while continually checking the D#. All was well until I got really close to the F pitch. At that point, the D# started raising. Therefore I could get very close, but couldn't get both to pitch together.

Clearly, there the raise is not allowing the lower to act properly.

Some thoughts:

What does the collar farthest from the changer do? Could that need adjusting?

I noticed that the bottom end plate screw was unscrewed alot more that it was when originally set up. Would that affect anything? Perhaps I will try to screw it down to approximately where it was originally, re-tune the changer, and start again?

After adjusting the F# pedal raise and then attempting to tighen the F collar, should that be in a specific spot?

Any help is as always greatly appreciated.

Make sure the changer is set like this, then start rodding it.

With the C pedal in its un-activated position, push the changer finger back (by hand) to the lowered setting, and tighten the C pedal collar (on the raise rod).

Press the C pedal.
