Conn ST-11 tip

[garywright]

great tip @ 9:15 which I never knew …I still have mine and it’s making a very soft spinning sound but working perfectly…is there a general maintenance practice used for these vintage Conns ..shot of wd40, deoxit,etc.

Quick guess - one set for each open string (E is repeated)?

Of course!
Why have two E?

did you also tune your A & B on the E setting ?

No. I wasn't just tuning, but also setting intonation. So I turned the knob for each string.

I still have and use one. I'm a dinosaur.

I have one. I bought it at the flea market a couple of years ago. I keep it on my workbench. It's the best tuner I've used for doing setups.
