Set #106:  Steel plate strip tuners, new-old stock, don’t know when they were made, this set is a dead ringer for the square plate Waverly tuners that were used on slot head National guitars and some other quality slot head instruments.  The plates are steel with brass gears and barrels, white plastic buttons.  They are in mint condition, 14:1 turning ratio.  All gears turn freely with no tight spots or issues.

Set 114:  1940s Kluson deluxe “no line” tuners as were found commonly on most Gibson flat tops (J-45, LG series, SJ)  of the later 1940s.  This set is clean with only the slightest  surface pitting in a few spots, the buttons are replaced with perfect repros of the original Kluson buttons.  They are functionally very good and turn freely with no binding or tight spots, no bent posts or shafts either.  The set includes original bushings and mounting screws.
