Machine bushings

Post by Lex » Thu Jul 30, 2015 12:34 pm

Hi all, I'm helping a friend get an old guitar playable, (sentimental value). the tuners are obviously cheap and have a bushing that presses into the headstock rather than nut and washer, does anyone know where I might find these machine heads or the bushings . Thanks Tod G

What size is the tuner shaft and bush diameter or the brand of guitar Tod ? I have various odds and sod sets I've taken out of various guitars over the years. I can send you a set for the cost of postage across the Tassy if you're interested?
