hey Nolan, that steel sounds great in that video!

Out of curiosity, did you clean the changer ?

I have an early 70s Semi Classic as well that’s a 3x4 but haven’t been able to get the pedals to move like yours seem to be

sounds great!

Hey Taylor. Glad you enjoyed the video! Yes I did clean the changer, but I didn’t disassemble anything. Luckily it was in decent shape when I got it, but I took a q tip and some cleaner to it, got all the sludge out and then lubricated each finger with some sewing machine oil. The right knee levers get a little stuck, but I loosened the levers themselves and that seemed to help. Best of luck with your maintenance!
