I have a set of tuners from a 1981 1111. they are crome w/Black plactic housing and the Ovation Logo stamped on the back complete w/screws(each tuner has two screw holes). If you think they will work how does $35.00 sound . I bought some gold ones on graigslist to dress my 1111 up it up a bit.
They are in GREAT Condition they also have a crome sleeve that fits in the hole on top of the headstock. |

Location: Scotland | Those tuners are Schaller M6N (N for Nylon body) and they will not fit the existing holes in a Matrix as the post diameter is larger and the body extrusion requires a larger bore from the rear of the headstock. Given the unique foam construction of the Matrix neck and headstock I'd have reservations about attempting a mod unless you exactly what you're doing. |

Location: Boise, Idaho | Is there a model number anywhere on the tuners? My Matrix have the Ovation logo on the back, chrome tuners with black plastic bodies and have two screws per tuner. They are stock for a 76 Matrix and I am the original owner. I could take a picture, but that might not tell you anything if I can't find a model number. |

Location: Scotland | Mark, they'll be Schaller M6N. You know, I might be having a senior moment and getting confused with the early Applause guitars, which were basically the Matrix with a different headstock. They had generic covered tuners. |

Location: Boise, Idaho | I have those all the time, Temp. The other day this geezer asked me if I was about 45. I told him 55 and he said he didn't look that old. I told him he had never seen me without a hat. When I took it off he agreed that I looked at least my age. |

If you would like, you can send me an check and I will hold it till you get the tuners and if they dont work just return them (in a timely manor) and I will tear up the check.
You can give me a call 615 584 8130. I am in Nashville. |

Sounds like I under priced my tuners. Well never let it be said James isn't willing to help out a fellow ovation owner. (lol) I spoke w/ Raiders yesterday and the checks in the mail. Actually glad someone can use them and my Wife is glad I get to recover some of the cost of the gold ones I bought for my Sunburst 1111. |
