    Default Any idea the manufacturer of these tuners?

    I ran across these in a "parts box" when cleaning out the music room today. Anybody know who made these?

    If the buttons aren't held on with screws they look like they are Schaller's with Stewmac ivoroid buttons on them. There was a clone of Schallers that had screw's holding the buttons on.

    They look like the set of Schallers I have sitting here.

    OK, I pulled out the real Schaller tuners and the fake Schaller tuners, these are real Schaller tuners with Stewmac buttons.

    The buttons didn’t look like Schaller which is why I questioned it. Shcaller buttons are moulded onto the shafts and I once had one break off. The epoxy I glued it back with has lasted for the last eighteen years! If you look carefully at the o/p’s photo’, you can just see the glue.
