I think those were called Grover Futura model tuners.

They look like the same ones the early 70's MSA's used.

Hey Rick! The little blonde shobud is tolerating my lousy playing everyday! I LOVE that little guitar! Ricky D. added two knees to make it a 3+4, and set it up with his exact copedent on his LDG, and Jerry Wallace rewound the original Shobud pickup, and I play it through my '71 blackfaced twin reverb with two Marrs cabs that hold a D-130 and the other a K-130 and there ya go! I take a little trip to TONE HEAVEN everyday!! This is one killer little Bud! Not much to say, except the rest is up to me. HA!!
What are we up to? Ricky is refurbishing my '69 Shobud D-10 "The Professional". It is the first year that model was issued of this line, near as we can tell, and these weird tuners came on it. There are 3 of those tuners missing, and a couple more just smack wore out, and we are on a mission to come up with a few to complete the old set, for vintage collectors sake.
SOOOOOOOO, anyone have a couple laying around collecting dust???
