Spotted these while browsing through International Luthiers Supply and was wondering if they're any good. Has anyone tried them?

I believe that's what Radim Zenkl's main axe had on it, but that was several years ago. I know they weren't the usual mando tuners. I didn't try tuning it but I know he's one of the most tune conscious guys around(he has dog ears!) so they would have to work good. I had just assumed they were like off a Strat or something. I would bet they would work good and not be so bad about getting sloppy and sticky like the usual open tuners. Looks like a set would cost about what a set of Waverly's would cost though, right? Also they wouldn't work on a F style peghead......
I'd like to know where you're getting Waverly's for $25.50. Notice that the price is for a set of 8, not each.
'scuse me, I saw "individual mini tuners" and thought that meant each.
Are these the same as the Gotoh mini guitar tuners, just in the "mandolin" section?
Asked I.L.S, what is the minimum spacing? ie will they fit as a replacement for 4 on a plate tuners?
no reply as yet.

minimum spacing on the guitar tuner is .725 for the Mini-Grover and .800 (give or take a few thou) on the mini Schaller. I'd imagine the Gotoh are close to that, thus allowing the .906 spread with a little breathing room.
The bigger question is if the buttons will clear the peghead, ie the side clearance.
