I need 16 Sperzel tuners that have a wide peg and 4 that have a small peg.




I bought my first pedal steel few months ago which needs restoration . The tuners on this guitar is stubborn as heck and one of the screws holds down a peg is broken inside. I emailed Sperzel and got no response. Hope there's someone who can help me out.
Thanks

P.S. They have to be shipped internationally.

Here’s 10. I have talked to Sperzel recently and they no longer produce those but will refurbish your old ones.

I already talked to him but he said the diameter of the shaft housing, at the mounting face, is 10mm or about Ø.393” which is different than mine.

Good luck finding these Sperzel 3/8 [.375] bushing machines. We have another thread working with some discussions. Far as I know, no one has ever been able to locate drop in replacements for these old Sperzels. I believe those Carters are different as well.

Some players have stated that Sperzel will recondition them if you send them in, but I don't know any player who has done that.

Most players elect to follow some of the earlier discussions and attempt to do the service themselves....or ream out the heads to 10mm and replace them with more modern tuners.

Do a search for more information and previous discussions.
