No they are not made anymore, they are called "Treadle Grinders" and you can find them at auction or online. here's one I found

If you are serious about obtaining a treadle (AKA pedal) grinder, search E-Bay and/or blacksmith sites and flea markets. Most grinders you will find cost $150.00 on up and most are junk that will require lots of work to restore. Most stones wobble on the axis, some are fractured and many stones have large chunks missing as the stones are very soft. The treadle mechanism typically has parts missing. If you can find one without major problems buy it. But, try it out first.
If you can locate a good stone without the treadle base, you can make a suitable base and treadle mechanism yourself. Underhills "Woodwright's Guide" has a plan. But, even without a plan there is enough information on the internet to make one. I just finished building the base and treadle mechanism using images from the internet. They cannot be beat. They operate at around 50 rpm and do not burn the metal.
Blade grinders are cheaper than burr grinders but you sacrifice uniformity of grind for the cheaper price. Krups, Braun, Capresso and Cuisinart all make cheaper versions of their blade grinders for around $20.
Around $14/hr starting out in Cincinnati.
MAke sure that the sensor above the brake pedal is still in good shape,check fuses.
Hi, if you look at the pedal, there is a 10mm bolt, adjust it out to make the pedal higher, or adjust it in to make the pedal lower.
Conincal Burr Grinders are used to grind coffee, using steel burrs. Some of the more popular grinders are made by: Mr Coffee, Krups, Breville, Capresso and Cuisinart. Black and Decker and Melitta also make a very economical grinder.
It would hurt it. Changing the spring will make the pedal harder to push down. The spring pulls the pedal up.
Make sure that the brake pedal is pressed down or else it won't shift out of park. If you are pressing the pedal and still no action then make sure that the brake lights are turning on as maybe a fuse or an electrical component letting the trannsmission know that you are holding the brake may be faulty.

They are toys, make them do 1080's off a 2cm ledge. Go crazy
There are too many grinders on the market today so you will need some critique and reviews to make up your mind. I would recommend that you go to www.consumersearch.com/coffee-grinders for some ideas.
That's a good question, he uses a wah-wah during the receding parts of his notes...but you wont get the exact same sound as he does it without a wah-wah. but the best thing you can do to get it close is to do bend and while you're bending the end of the note close it in with a whammy. buy a wah wah pedal. but even with the wah-wah pedal, it is unlikely that you will ever get close to being able to play like Tom Morello.
I pressed the pedal to move faster in my car.
