I see the OP is in Orange County. Give Jim Palenscar at "Steel Guitars of North County" a call. His shop is in Oceanside. Jim is a great guy, and his shop is a steel players dream.
This link should take you to his site. https://steelguitars.me/

I don't recall anyone saying that putting palm benders (or using the Parsons/White system...) is going to make a regular guitar or lap steel a "pedal steel guitar". The OP was concerned about the weight of a conventional pedal steel guitar as well as looking for something "more practical" for basic accompaniment so these were offered as alternatives. If you're asking about what makes the Parsons/White benders better than the palm benders I'd suggest that shifting weight on a Tele is a whole lot ergonomic than using palm levers, since the direction of operation is 90 degrees opposed to hand motion. That looks like a good recipe for muscle strain to me. You'd have to ask one of the myriad of Parsons/White users to get an answer directly from the horse's mouth.

This is clearly what you said. That’s ok with me. But any idea you presented here is a non-sequiter to a person that’s an actual pedal steeler, of which I am one, and so is the O.P. frank d.

It was when Zumsteels were still being made, so likely it was an old one. The guy I sold it to played dive honky tonks and was delighted to have a beater.LOL

I have tried two versions of the palm levers (Telecaster and lap steel) and they do not suit me.
