Help! Took apart my Floyd, how to put it back to

[DonP]

gether.

I had it all nicely stacked, but then the kids messed with it.

Specifically the trem block, plate and springy thing. I think its block, metal plate, springy thing, then frame, but I'm not 100% sure.

It's a Schaller Floyd.

I have a JT500, and it doesn't have the extra plate.

Thanks!

Don

What is it that needs to be put back? Is the bridge in tack and all you need is installation steps?

Yup, same with my Schaller; block, plate, springy thing and frame.

Make sure you put the block on correctly - I took one apart and the springs kept popping off - had to turn the block around [img]/images/graemlins/laugh.gif[/img]

Newc,

I saw the holes in the trem block look closer to one side than the other. I made the "closer side" toward the springs. I hope it's right. Just to confirm, I think the stampings and numbers are pointing forward toward the springs as well.

The plate helps the springy thingy keep the tension on the lock bolts for the fine tuners to work correctly.
