Too much pedal slack in A&B pedal
Hello, I have a Lashley Legrand 2, and it has developed more pedal slack in the A&B pedals than I like. In other words too much slop before the pedal engages. Do I need to use some different return springs? Any help appreciated. Thanks!

On the Legrande the pedal stop is fixed by the steel bar on the front apron. The adjustment screw on the cross shaft allows for pedal free travel or slop. If the guitar is throwing to correct pitch you can tighten that screw to take out the slop, leaving a bit. JS

By all means! Leave a tad of "the slop". If not, you run the risk of "overtuning".
