I have to replace a tuning key that is missing the nut and washer on the post side as it's turning with a lot of binding and friction. I can't figure out what sort of key it is... so I either hope someone here can ID it, or I'll just replace it with a mismatched one.

It's the only tuning machine I've seen that has a pin and an allen screw to hold it in place. No manufacturer name on the key. Any ideas? Anyone seen anything like this? I know it's not that factory original for my brand, as far as I know MCI's were originally built with Sperzels. Grover didn't fit, and grovers and sperzels both have names on the individual machines. They also aren't klusons, as the klusons have a box shape to the covering.

Guesses? Thoughts? I can send photos if someone needs clarification. Thanks.

I've never seen machines with a set screw, but maybe Ping?
