Looking for individual replace machine tuner for Marlen

Post by Jordan Siden »

Hello,
I have a Marlen SD-10. One of my machine tuners wound up with busted threads and needs to be replaced. Does anyone have a spare Grover tuner for pedal steel? Happy to pay for the part and shipping. I'm located in Michigan.

Here's a link to the part and a photo of what I'm trying to replace.

I believe mine is a 210C. But if you think you have a spare machine head that will fit I would be happy to consider. Thank you.

I bought a whole set once and ended up only using 2.

Oh, great! Well I only need one bass side (string 6) but I'd consider buying more as spares. What do you think you'd charge for two bass side two treble side?

Ok, honestly, I didn't know there was any difference between the bass side and treble side. Is there some way I can tell because I think there's 8 or so out there??

Not sure! I'm just assuming it works the same as 3x3 guitar tuners.

I need a tuner that's for the side of the guitar facing the player (string 6). Are all of your tuners exactly identical or do some face opposite direction from each other?

Hey James, bad news :/

I found on another post on the forum that Grover will replace defective tuners for the cost of shipping.

I just emailed Grover, but if for some reason that doesn't work out I'll let ya know asap.

Ok, now I understand. I have 5 of the ones on the left and 3 of the ones on the right.

Oh cool, I had no idea they would do that. That's great.
