It's relatively simple to rejuvenate old Kluson Deluxes. I've de-gunked, re-lubed, and re-bottoned dozens of 'em. If you just wanna replace 'em, the Gotoh TK-0700-001 strip tuners are excellent.

Stu,
Whenever possible, I like to keep to keep the original tuners.
I am with Jack on replacement.
I just got a 55 National Dynamic with new white button tuners.
The seller also enclosed the original tuners with no buttons.
$15 at Stew Mac and I am going to put the originals back on with these cream buttons.
55 Klusons pictured below just keep that vintage look IMHO.
Stew Mac has a How to Video.. maybe worth a try. |

Within the past hour, I removed, opened up, re-installed, then broke one on an early 50’s National Chicagoan. Sigh. String 4 was very loose and once I reinstalled it, one of the little tabs snapped when tuning up. I had already had the stewmac site up, chosen a model and all I had to do was hit “Checkoutâ€, so I did.

It looks like the Gotohs would work, too.

This is an excellent point. The correct Gotoh part number for strip tuners for use on solid headstocks is TK-0700-001.

I got the Golden Age tuners from StewMac today and they are an exact fit replacement. I used my old screws since the new ones were smaller in diameter. They look great and work very smoothly. It was a fine update.
Also, the buttons are cream instead of white and match the rest of the “plastic†stuff on the guitar perfectly.
