Can someone who has used the Gotoh keys on a push pull please tell me the best place to buy them and help me get the correct ones?
Thanks,
Jerry

Thx for the link Ian, they have a good selection of tuning machines and other guitar parts at reasonable prices.Just a little tidbit I found out when I was building my Tele last winter, most,if not all, Fender tuners are made by a south Korean company named Ping. I have a set of the Fender branded locking tuners with 18:1 ratio and they are a very well made part comparable to Gotoh,Schaller or Sperzel, but at better prices at least for now....  |

Jerry, I don’t claim expertise, bet this is a quote from a communication from Bryan Adams before his death.....
you need to get #933 gotahs...4 bags for a d-10..there 6 keys per bag...3 rt and 3 left...you will 4 spare keys left over...you will need to drill out the screw holes with a #29 bit, makes it easy with the 4-40 machine screws used on an emmons..they are real good key..better than the old klusons...BA

You "ARE" replacing Klusons, , right ?
as the key head shaft hole sizes are not the same for Sperzels which were used on later P Pulls from the factory.
just a heads-up

If you are replacing Klusons, use the old screws and it`ll be a drop in replacement.
Big improvement! Smooth, no backlash, better ratio.

| I've installed Gotohs on a lot of my push-pulls. However, unlike new "vintage" replacement Klusons, I've never had to drill out or enlarge the Gotoh's screw holes to make them fit the keyhead. They're drop-in replacements. Hint: be careful when removing the old tuner's screws. They're really small and you can spend a LOT of time searching for a dropped one on a shop floor. |

I put them on my wraparound and had to ream the screw holes ever so slightly. Not hard, just tool a little time.

Stewart,
Emmons used 4-40 x 1/4" long round head slotted screws but every single fastener on a Promat is metric, so those screws won't interchange.
The screws they most likely used are:
m2.6 x 0.45 x 6mm long
If they went a bit larger, they could be:
m3 x 0.5 x 6mm long
Take an example of an existing screw to a good hardware store to compare with what they have to determine what you have.

Jerry,
I have bought the Gotoh tuners from StewMac as others have mentioned.

Like Tommy Detamore mentioned, you'll probably need to ream out the mounting holes slightly in order for the 4-40 screws to fit through them.

Dang, am I reading that ad right, almost $30 a piece? They should be arrested for robbery. That's $600 for a D-10, I believe I'd put up with my old ones.

Oh, thanks, I knew that was a ridiculous price, didn't understand that was for six.
