bah, the tuners still too hard to turn. I have one idea. I think the new wheels are too big or the old peg holes are too close to the handle gear, and I think I can try opening the peg holes by a /32” to increase that distance a bit.
.
The tuners are giving me fits.
I wish I was surer that the existing ones were old and stiff before I put the big ferrules on, but they must have been or I’d have noticed the nasty change immediately. And they’re clearly old, despite being very clean.
.
First I took them apart and oiled it all, didn’t help.
.
then I tried more than once to find a combination of wheels and pegs from my spare parts supply, to no avail.
.
Then I gave up and ordered the expensive new ones.
.
They don’t fit, at least not on this particular guitar. So I tried to use the new wheels and pegs in the old strips, and I was able to put that together, but it’s not a good fit, they’re still stiff and horrible.
.
Tomorrow, we drill out one hole, see if it helps, and all of them if it does.
.
I assume, as I usually do, that if I ever get it working I’ll be the only idiot who ever did, that a normal person would let these things die. 😠🙄
.
It’s going to be very satisfying, though.
