Cog-wheels for Höfner tuners

[hans-jürgen]

Hi, glad to see that Vintaxe.com has a new forum! I would like to ask if somebody knows a source for new or NOS cog-wheels of old Höfner tuners. The tuners on my 465/S/E3 archtop are fine except for those used-up wheels on the back, and it would be very easy to change them for new ones. Here's a picture:



As you can see, I already tested it with the tuner for the high E string, but I only had a slightly different cog-wheel from my Höfner Club 40 which didn't work either.

Yes, that's a well-known source for old Hofner parts. Recently I noticed that my Aria classical guitar has the same tuners, so this should be a standard replacement part.
