Well now… here’s a little time capsule from when things were built like they meant it.
Original Schaller M6 tuning machines, still sitting in their factory box, stamped proudly “Made in W. Germany.” That alone tells you everything you need to know—this is pre-wall, pre-corner-cutting, back when Schaller was quietly becoming the backbone of Gibson’s hardware during the Norlin years.
Condition? Let’s talk straight.
These are exceptionally clean, with that proper vintage sheen—not that over-polished nonsense. Box shows honest age (as it should), but the tuners themselves? Ready for duty.
You’re getting:
- Full 6-in-line set
- Original Schaller packaging with insert
- That unmistakable German precision feel—tight, smooth, and built to outlast us all
Perfect for a period-correct restoration, or for the player who knows that tuning stability isn’t a suggestion—it’s a requirement.
“Lee, why do I care?”
Because these are the same style machines that kept countless Les Pauls and SGs in tune while the amps were dimed and the crowds were loud.
In closing, friends—
You can buy new… or you can buy right.
All the best,
Lee
