Celluloid tuner buttons

Post by Lee Jeffriess »

A good friend of mine in the Boston area has a problem!
The tuner buttons on his Gibson Consulette are starting to disintegrate.
Anyone know of a replacement source? any suggestions appreciated. I'm sure this is a pretty common problem.

Stewart McDonald has buttons and instructions on how to replace them on your existing tuning machines.

And I just ordered twice as many as I'd intended, Lee. I have a whole drawer full of them. --- By the way, if you want them to look a little older a quick coat of dilute orange shellac does the trick.
