I have a 93 Peavey Foundation and need replacement tuners. Can any recommend a quality exact replacement?

90s Peavey Foundation Parts

I'd try contacting Peavey directly first. I talked to someone on Reddit last month who was looking for one. I suggested calling Peavey and they sold them one for $12.50. Can't really beat that.
Great tip! Contacted Peavey and the tuners are available and right in that price range. Thanks
I'm no expert in finishes, but I think my Foundation 5 that is "1995 or later" according to Peavey's serial number search is lacquer, just based on how it has worn, and comparing to '60s Fenders I've played.
The '87 Foundation I used to have was almost definitely poly. Very thick and glossy. Forty years old and looked basically new.

My Foundation is a 93 and the neck doesn’t have the finish wear normally associated with lacquer but I’m not sure. After 33 years, it still has shine
Oh I learned that it's '95+ from the serial number search. My hunch that it's lacquer is just from looking at it LOL. I probably just wrote that sentence confusingly sorry.
I called Peavey Customer Service and left a message. Hopefully I’ll get a response. I’m leaning towards lacquer. It dries much quicker than poly and in a production environment, things need to move along quickly.
Finishes... "most" peavey finishes are poly. Periodically, you'll find one with something akin to an oil finish.
Hardware... sometimes meridian will sell parts... often times they're a commodity. We do not know which version you have (no pix) so really can't say more than spec it out and head to ebay.
Year... there is a core cult group for usa peavey. Overall, we'll point out that year is trivial... it's revision generation. The serial number stuff on the net is not perfect.
To fully understand the brand, it's important to understand it was affordable gigging gear CEO'd by an engineer type person.

I'd suggest taking some clean pix of the headstock, overall and body and posting your stuff on the Peavey club.
