Yes, these are the cam tuners that I put together on Walt's workbench in his garage. Lol Boy does this bring back some memories.
I put the tuners together from parts bins and packaged them in little cello bags and put 2 to a box. I didn't work for Walt very long - maybe 3 or 4 months on Saturdays and a couple of Sundays and then I got a better paying job so had to quit. Walt had a really bad back and neck problems from being a heavy equipment operator.
He also did some luthier work for Earl - I remember getting to play his old Granada a little, while Walt was fixing the inlay's - there were a number of missing pieces in the hearts and flowers. This was when Earl and Louise were in the LA area - recording the first tracks for the Beverly Hillbillies. They stayed at Walt's house in El Monte Calif while they were in town.
I am the program director of a small FM radio station in west central Nevada now and we play lots of acoustic music - Bluegrass, Folk, ect. I do a live 2 hour show every Friday 5 to 7pm "pacific time" you can log on and check it out - kgfn.org Radio Goldfield, Goldfield Nevada.
I hope I have helped you in some way and I look for any response you may have. Carl Brownfield

Really cool info. Thanks for sharing…both of you. I'll check out the tunes on kgfn Carl. And Craig I miss your DJ work from 'Fire On The Mountian' radio show on CKUA. It's still going strong with Steve Fisher. Your 'live' picking during fund raising shows was stellar.
