Re: Tuner button about to crack?
Depending on the age of those tuners and the mandolin the shaft probably won't be square, it will be two flats and two rounds. That is either a set of Gotoh tuners or the fake Gotoh tuners that Saga imported a few years back. You can try the CA and see if it holds, make sure to remove the button when you do it and let it dry before you put it back on. These buttons can be really hard to find. If you can get a set of digital calipers and give me the measurement of the two dimensions of the end of that shaft I'll mail you a button. I just need to know which one to send. PM me your complete mailing address formatted correctly after you get the dimensions.
The screws are not decorative but that doesn't mean the button might not be hard to get off.
