Need one Kluson Tuner eyelet 1952 Gibson EM-150

[Bob Gaddis]

I am working on a mandolin that has been hurt. When it came to me, it was missing one of the original Kluson tuner eyelets(bushings) I have 7, I need one more. The new repros aren't quite the same./ I was wondering if anyone might have a spare one kicking around in the parts bins somewhere? The tuners have been replaced onthis, but I'd like to keep the eyelets the same. Thanks

Can you post a pic. I have a drawer of old tuner parts.  A photo or two, and I'll try matching it.

Good Morning, Bob. I think I have one for you. I have a set from an old guitar but I seem to have come up with an extra one. If you want to send your mailing address to my Email ( Don't put it here unless you don't care if it gets picked up but web crawlers) I will mail it to you.

Looks like It's a grommet style, if all else fails look for the oldest shoe repair guy you can find and ask him.
