    Think I Will be able to sort the rust on the taper with electrolytic rust removal and a buff. Just want to make sure I could use it before I put any work into it. Thanks for the heads up!

    Fred do you know the length of the tuner on the SST60? I seem to get two different measurements from my research, one is 7 5/8" from bottom of power head the other is from the bottom of the adapter plate. From the bottom of the adapter seems long according to the pics. I seen of it.
    By the way how did the tuner that you modified with the aluminum base ball bat work out for you?
