Is there any chance of finding a source of Chrome or Gold units with the same screw hole pattern?

Location: Pacific Northwest Inland Empire		Look at it as a birthmark, though the peghead graft may already qualify.
Sorry, just odd musings. Can't help, & don't have any of your desired parts.
I'll be alert, though!

Yes, the graft is a little blatant but wait till you see the rest of the instrument.

Location: Utah		If you don't need the roundback emblem there are some good choices with the same hole position.

Grover RotoMatics, locking or regular tuners work well. I've got the locking version on my Hamer and like them plenty. 18:1 ratio, too. Planet Waves auto-trim locking tuners will fit. And the Schaller locking tuners have no screw but look cool. Schaller makes a version of the M-6 with the correct hole position but I have not found them domestically.

Location: Germany, where delicious wine is growing (Rheinh)		That are the same ones as on my 2009 C. I think they are special made for Ovation, I can't find them in that design on the Schaller homepage and there are a lot of different M-6 tuners.

Now, is there an American Distributer of these or better yet, the same pattern in Gold or Chrome?

Jersey maybe?

Location: London, UK		As far as schallers go, that particular 2-lug pattern is particular to the nylon M6, I think. There are tech drawings on the Schaller website, with all the dimensions.

Location: London, UK		Take a look at the Gotoh SG360 tuners (chrome or gold). They have one lug rather than 2, but the screw hole for that is within a mm of where the lower hole for the Schaller nylon would be.

Then you only have 6 tiny holes to fill.

Here for example.
More details in the Gotoh Catalog.

The only known set of Chrome Ovation M6n-ish tuners I have ever touched.



There has got to be more of them somewhere...
