I have a classic strat with "F" style tuners.
However, one of the chrome plated plastic tuner keys broke by splitting in half.
The tuner shaft that the button fits on is splined.

Can't seem to locate a replacement for this style of tuner anywhere:
I checked with StewMac and ALLparts and they didn't have anything that would work.

I would like to find a set of replacement tuner buttons made of metal.

At best, I watched a video at StewMAc on drilling out plastic keys, with a rectangular hole, and gluing it onto the splined shaft.

short of just buying a single "F" style tuner, I sure would prefer to replace all of the plastic tuner buttons, instead...

Keven,
Perhaps you'd have better luck if you asked the moderators for access to the other forums and then posted something in the "For Sale" forum about what you're looking for. It's possible there are folks that can help you who aren't able to respond to your message (only a handful of "greeters" can post in this forum). Regardless, welcome to the group and good luck in your search.
