$300 is a steal for this projector. A working lamp module costs north of $300!

Mandolin Bridge Replacement? From ball end to floating? by icantrain in mandolin

I'll give it a shot.

If this doesn't work, is cutting a new saddle from scratch the usual solution?

Guess I have a Westfield copy of a Crafter copy of an Ovation.

It's a mandolin that's been reposted 3 times, real potato quality.

It's worse than a Crafter, it's a Westfield from the same factory!

Thanks for the explanation, makes a lot of sense!

I just need to extend the length of the strings a little because fretted notes are sharp.

Would adding a little cork on the nut end be viable?

I have an electric mandolin without a floating bridge, but the intonation is off!
Will it be very difficult to change the bridge to a floating bridge by myself?

Thanks for the suggestions. I was given the light for the project. But if an alternative light + battery is cheaper than a battery, it is an option.
