The machine heads on my 1953 National Grand Console triple neck are starting to crack.
What would be my best option for replacing them? What kind of tuners would be suitable and a good value?
(24 tuners could get expensive...)
P.S. It looks just like the black/white triple neck here:

I bought the Stewart Macdonald pearloid buttons, and installed them on my National D8. I ordered a few extra, just in case, but didn't need them. They worked great!

Hmm. That's pretty much exactly the information I was looking for.
Thanks. This is going to be a LOT cheaper and easier than I first thought. Hooray! |

| I just ordered some from All Parts yesterday, but the Stew Mac site looks like it has very good instructions on how to replace them. I have a National Console double neck, I just picked up on Monday. |

I drilled mine out with the drill in reverse, going clock wise it chipped the buttons. Then I heated the shafts with a hot blower and pressed them on with the vise. they worked great that way.
