Hi-

I am looking for the 4 small washers (need 24 total) that go between the plate and rollers of Gotoh classical tuners - they are 1 teflon or plastic washer, 1 thin metal washer and 2 metal compression washers. I called Stewmac - they don't carry any parts. I also called LMI - they sell the replacement rollers only. I can't imagine any Gotoh dealers having these parts in stock but I figured I would ask if anyone knew who might have these anyways. The tuners are like the top 2 choices on this page http://www.lmii.com/CartTwo/thirdproducts.asp?CategoryName=Tuning+Machines&NameProdHeader=Gotoh%99+Classical+Tuners.


Thanks guys-

Hi John,

I have gotten washers for steel string tuners in the past. It was not easy and it was not fast. So if you run out of options let me know and I check with my supplier and see what we can do.

Thanks

Shane

Thanks Shane. If I do, I'll order a bunch of spruce too. You can't go to all that trouble for a couple bucks worth of washers. Thanks again for your kind offer and I'll let you know for sure.
