Replacement tuners for '36 National aluminum Hawaiian

[Noah Miller]

Wood saddles in aluminum castings weren't a new idea with these steels. The idea was to make them easy to replace, as with earlier National-Dobro instruments.

... how could they make these huge hollow cast things originally for $80 or something like that..

$80.00 in 1935 would be $1797.60 in 2023. Cheaper than many new American (and imported) guitars today.
