Yup, a big old wood screw with a strap button on it can be used.

That's pretty much as definitive as you can get. Thank you both for weighing in.

I'm not sure but I think the statements in this thread might have contributed to the fray.

There was also one for sale in February of...

The STE branded mandolins were brought out I believe as kind of an inexpensive second line type instrument and they didn't make many. There are a few threads here about that. Bruce was building Weber...

It's actually Tone-gard. Try contacting Tony on his site.

:cool:

Yeah.

There is some misinformation here. Bruce Weber sold his company to Tom Bedell's company Two Old Hippies. Bruce originally moved with the production from Montana to Bend, Oregon. Weber mandolins were...

Tom Bedell, the original Old Hippy that owns Two Old Hippie's apparently sees his company as a lifestyle brand. He sells more than just musical instruments and owns several brand names. I'm not even...

Looks like it sold here. If you didn't buy it at this link you might want to ask for new pictures.

Gibson chose to import a mandolin and label it Flatiron. That was well after Bruce left Gibson. Zero connection to Weber. It took place while Gibson mandolin production was in Nashville and not in...

I guess my question would be why would you doubt the seller? Ask for a photo of the label. Nobody and I mean nobody is going to take the time to fake an inexpensive imported Washburn branded mandolin.

If it was made in Oregon it was after the Two Old Hippies buy out. It might have been before Bruce left the company.

I have never heard of Weber issuing imports branded Weber. I do know they sold some mandolin with the STE (Sound To Earth) brand name but they were made in Montana. Two Old Hippies bought Weber and...

That has to be early.

If you decided you want to attempt a tuner button replacement this article by the late Frank Ford might be of help.

Just prior to your mandolin being built Gibson offered it with arrow head tuners similar to the Stewmac Golden Age A-style tuners. If you can't find a set of originals you might consider them. Keep...

For posterity:

It's an Eastmn (I believe) that has a Gibson sticker of some sort stuck to the headstock then scratched off. It isn't a Gibson but some folks apprently think it is.

It doesn't have the Gibson label scratched out it has the label somebody glued on it scratched out that said Gibson. I believe it's actually an Eastman with Stewmac Golden age tuners on it. The...

Your Weber will have modern F style tuner spacing of .906" post hole center to post hole center. With very few exceptions most F style tuners should drop in to those holes. The screw holes can be...

Only a Moderator or Chuck Norris can do that. I took care of it for you.
