Just another guy, really.
So, the original tuners on my '68 Telestar are basically shot. I snagged a set of Pings from Mars, back when they were going out of business, VERY cheap- now I know why- 5 of them are for one side, one is for the other.
So, I go buy another set of pings, new, from Sam Ash. but they don't fit- the old Telestar has the tuners REVERSED, so I would have to drill new screw holes (and the old ones would be exposed) in my headstock. Don't wanna do that. So I try taking apart the tuners- both sets- to see if I can piece something together. Not only does that not work, getting them back together, so I can return the Sam Ash set, drives me nuts. Finally, they are all back together, and ready to be returned.
Whew! And I STILL have my old, worn out tuners on the Telestar. I tightened them up quite a bit, we will see if that helps.
