Classical machine heads
I just purchased a couple of pairs of machine heads for $30 each from an eBay seller (http://stores.ebay.com/Taisamlu-Musical). When they arrived I was quite pleasantly surprised by the quality. A nice thick sideplate, the posts that hold the shaft for the knobs and worm drive are actually cast as part of the sideplate and not riveted on, and the gears feel smooth with no backlash.

Re: Classical machine heads
Wow. Looks like you got a bargain, assuming they perform well enough. Classical tuners can get VERY pricey.
Re: Classical machine heads
Nice find Nick, they look to be pretty fine tuners.
Thanks for the head-sup it'll come in handy for lots of forum members, myself included.
