You have to measure the tuners from post center to post center. The standard would be .906 inches or 23.01 mm. The problem is that Kentucky has used some off sized tuners in the past. Post a picture of the back of the headstock and we might be able to ID what brand you currently have.

Any particular reason you want to upgrade them? The ones on my 150 work great, and for the price of tuners if you just save and double the money you could upgrade to a better mandolin
Mandolin: Kentucky KM150
Other instruments: way too many, and yet, not nearly enough.

If your tuners are sticky, it's worth dissembling them and lubricating them carefully with tri-flo, search for a thread about it (look up "sticky tuners Collings mandolin, not meaning to pick on Collings here, that's just where I found the thread). The cleaning and lubrication process can really improve matters.

Take a look at the late Paul Hostetter's tuner maintenance page.
