Wow, and just as I was despairing of finding a good set of "totally functional" vintage tuners for my old Gibson, here is a set that has apparently been stored at the bottom of a pond for 40 yrs!

I had an EM 150 with flaky buttons, the post WW2 soy plastics lost binder and crumbled with age, I guess. Now theres replacements, for the knobs at least.

That's a very common sight on early 50's tuners from Gibson...they look like that more often than not. Luckily the problem gears are generally associated with A-40's and A-50..and several models of guitars
