1963 Airline lap steel 3 on a plate tuners

Post by Steve Hudson »

Hiya all, so ive recently come back to playing lap steel and would love to replace the old kluson deuxe 3 on a plate tuners with, either newer ones ( the old ones just arent smooth tuning anymore,) or especially would love locking tuners. does anyone know of any 3 on a plate locking tuners that fit these old boys?
This is the same model as mine

The Gotoh SD90-style TK-0700-001 strip tuners will be a tremendous upgrade, and they will drop right into your Airline.

Don't buy Stew Macs cheapest plate tuners. I had to send them back.
Some where between major and minor

Pre, wartime and post-war time Rickenbacher B6's, 48' National Dynamic and a Scheerhorn.
