Len,

I did a quick search on Rickenbacher tuners using their search function, and there is some discussion about installing new tuners, but not so much on finding one old replacement. I would just post a question inquiring if anyone had just one old one.You may need to be a member to post. If you do not want to join (it is a great forum) I could post the question for you.

That said, it a great resource.

It costs $5 to join and that is for your lifetime. A good investment even if all you do is get a Rick tuner. As a Rick Bakelite lover, would love to see some pics of the front. Is the pickup 1.5" or 1.25 inches wide? Do the strings mount through the body or through a metal tailpiece? Rick lovers want to know.
