There has been an evolution in tuners over the last 60 years from closed, sealed tuners to open back tuners. I always left tuners alone. If they worked okay, I left them alone.

In the photo in my previous post, the set of Waverly Tuners in the background needed a lot of work to get back in service. I'm unsure why that set was sacred to my friend, but I would have bought a new set and swapped the tuners, including the bushings. Tommy |

Schallers were the gold standard back in the 70s. The set on my Gurian still works dandy.

People love to trash those early Guild three on a plate open back tuners. Not the smoothest tuners in the world, but they work. To me it's all about saving weight on the headstock. I like the aesthetics too, but a light headstock is the reason more than anything.
