Michael B Posted 2005-01-18 4:44 PM (#339116) Subject: WTB: Tuning Machines for 1968 12-String Joined: December 2004 Posts: 12 Location: Boston USA I have a 1968 model 1115 that's in dire need of new pair of 6-on-a-side tuning machines. I bought an aftermarket set from GC but they are a bit too long -- the tuners are just too long for the slot holes. Can anyone recommend a source for a new set? StewMac doesn't carry them. I'm not looking for original, just functional. Alternatively, would Ovation have them?

I did some measuring and the spacing I need is 15/16" from center of post to center of post. The new ones are just over 1 inch center to center.
