The late Paul Hostetter's site has a page that is devoted to reviving these old tuners. Take a look at it:

Beyond that, those tuners should be modern worm over A style tuners. Look at the dimensions at the bottom of this page. This model of the Stewmac tuners should fit. You could also use other A style worm over tuners from other manufacturers.

Thanks Mike a friend on a Facebook page recently replaced the tuners on a 24 H1, he indicated the Stewmac golden age fit, I am just trying to triple check, I won't be doing the work myself, but want to make sure I get the right HW
Looking at the Luthier page they kind of resemble to problematic Snakehead A jr ones depicted, though I can't be sure of that.

Just don't try the other Stewmac tuners with the squiggle ends. The cog orientation is wrong and the holes won't line up for the posts.
