Where might I find a tuning machine head cover for an '01 Warwick Corvette? Thanks!

The cover on the back of a sealed tuner. Covers the gears.

Have a pic? IIRC, the Warwick tuners are Gotoh GB7-esque stamped with the Wartwick "W". For the life of me, I've never seen one with the cover removed.

Thanks for the info; it's a bass for sale here on TB, and looks mint otherwise; I figured it would be no big deal to replace, but I may have to find a warwick dealer. Or live with it.

Okay, can you hook us up with a link to the F/S thread and / or pics so we can see for ourselves?

Thanks

oh, you mean that little round disc that was originally pressed into the back of the key housing to seal in the works?

that isn't supposed to come off. if it does, it's time for a replacement key.

Found it. '91 Corvette fretless, right? That's just downright bizarre as the discs don't usually fall off on their own. On the bright side, somebody out there in TB land must have a single cast-off chrome GB-7 to spare. Post a "WTB" thread and see what pops up.
