I replaced the strings on my 1122-4 classical Ovation today. The A and the D tuning machines no longer work! I can hear the gears giving way on the inside. Where on earth will I be able to purchase replacement keys for my 40 year old Ovation?

When you respond, I will update your status and move this to the general forums where more folks will be able to respond. I don't think finding replacements are going to be that difficult.

That is actually Alpep's listing...

So you could just contact Al through his shop...

John at Ovation said that the 3x3 on a plate tuners will work just fine. I bought the Ovation set on eBay for $39.99.
