In need of New Machine Head

Sign in to disble this ad
So a few days ago I was tuning up my D on my new (Used) Ibanez Sr505 when the string popped out of the machine head. I looked at it, and that peg on the machine head was loose so i tightened it. I tried again and it popped off again. So i looked at it and the peg had snapped off, and was barley holding on in there. I managed to get it to work for a little while by changing it out with G machine head and wrapping the string in reverse. so today, I forgot that i can't tune it down, and guess what, I tuned it down.
So now I have a broken Machine head that won't tune up, and I don't feel like buying a set of them, so If any one has an extra one, it would be greatly appreciated. If you don't know what it looks like, here is a link.

Or, if anyone has any idea where to buy single ones, it would also help a whole lot.

Thank you
