| No...but they look just like the Gotohs, which are a copy of the old Kluson Deluxe tuners. |

Be careful, John, these tuners are not direct replacements for the Kluson Deluxe tuners! If you look closely at the second photo, you'll see that there are threaded hex bushings involved. If you are looking for a tuner with a plain 1/4" post to mount on an Emmons, or similar key head these would not be a good choice.
You can buy Gotoh replacements here:

Or several varieties of Kluson replacements here:

Also, don't use Grover Deluxe replacements for this purpose, as the posts are 6mm OD (not 1/4" OD).

Thanks guys, I appreciate the input.
I had a set of Gotohs which I was happy with as replacements for the original Kluson Deluxe tuners on this steel, an early '70's Emmons. Luckily I had one left to replace the key that broke on the job the other night. I couldn't seem to locate more, so thanks for the link. I hadn't noticed the difference.
