Were any Ovations made with Ping tuners?

I received an 1711-4 ('93) with a chrome set of Pings on it. I do have an 'O' set I can put on the git if the Pings are not original.

TIA

Everything started getting Pings in the New Millenium. I thought back then all USA O's got Schallers.

After removing the tuners for an 'Iffy Beauty Treatment' I can definitely say that these are the originals. The headstock 'footprints' are clear and clean with no evidence whatsoever of another tuner type being used.

So who else has a first year 1711 with Pings?
