replacement tuning machines
Does anybody know where I can get replacement tuners for a Rickenbacker console steel?

Are they Kluson Deluxes?
I have had great success with the replicas made by G Gotoh in Japan. Better than the originals, and they have a similar footprint. I have used two different styles of nickel-plated SD90s, with either white plastic or keystone buttons.

This Rickenbacker has to have 4 on a plate because of the way it was made in the beginning. Yes they are Kluson. I may try to repair it. I just have not tried repairing a Kluson because of the sealed cover. But a luthier friend told me what to do. So I have the confidence I need to fix it. I too work as a Luthier. Thanks.
