About This Listing
The buttons on these true replica tuning machines have no green color, as is common. They are also not yellow or overly clear, as is typical. These are a mostly opaque, semi-translucent, creamy swirly color, as is true to vintage machines. The buttons I use on these are the closest replicas available today. They won't shrink and crumble, they just look perfect!
This Kluson® 3 per side tuning machine set has imitation pearloid keystone style buttons and the improved 15:1 gear ratio for more stable and accurate tuning. The housing and button style are period correct for 1956 - 1960 production dates. These feature the standard string thru post. This set comes complete with both bass and treble side tuners, 8.8mm O.D. vintage bushings with 1/4 inch I.D. (part#MB65N US) and mounting screws (TMSC)needed for installation.
See below for any historic period-correct replacement info.
Please note: If you are retro-fitting a vintage instrument that has been modified or putting this vintage style tuning machine on a modern instrument you may also need to purchase appropriate adaptor bushings. These adapter bushings were specifically designed to convert a larger size peghole to vintage size to allow for proper fit and function.
