Hi,
I just bought the mandolin on EBay. Seems nice, but tuners were really stiff to tune up, so I'll take them off when I restring next week and clean and lubricate all the component parts.
It looks like the issue might be that the the tuner posts have moved slightly off vertical and pulled towards the body. Does this seem likely and how would I solve the problem? By reaming the holes in the headstock? I want to use the tuners if possible as they seem solid and look better on an old mandolin.
Any advice greatly received.
Regards,
