But seriously.. shouldnt be much of a problem really to construct a couple three levers to do the job. Make a knee pedal like the old pump organs used. The rest can be either pulley driven or lever driven I should think. You need some return spring mechnanism... If you do this make sure and get a picture of the system and post it. > -- > Greg Newell > mailto:gnewell@ameritech.net -- Richard Brekne RPT, N.P.T.F. Bergen, Norway mailto:rbrekne@broadpark.no
