Anyone know what brand the tuning machines are ?

Or where to get get parts?

The screw is missing from the back of my ‘A’ tuner. I could probably find one at a hardware store but this screw appears to be purpose-built and I’d like to keep the bass original as much as possible.

Peavey customer service says they’re Grovers. Grover says it’s not theirs or else it would have their brand name stamped somewhere.

Go to the T-60 Forum and ask Chip what brand they are. He'll know for sure. And he should know where you can find replacements. Heck, he might even have some stashed away in his shop.

Neo Fender,

I have an extra screw for a T-40 tuner. PM me your address and it's yours.

Cheers,
Scott

That's what I like to see. T-owners helping each other out.

The tuners are Schaller M4S machines. A little pricey if you want to buy a ful set, but you can occasionally find NOS sets on ebay for about $50.

Neo,

Just had time to get to the post office. The tuner screw you need is on the way.

I think that there are 2 diffrent types of turners Chip has said that they were "Goth" sorry bout the spelling anyway i thought he said that the 2 were for sure diffrent and the screws were diffrent sizes????

i know gotoh was used for the T-60 so maybe by assumption the same brand is used for the T-40
