Aria Pro ii SB 700 Machine heads

[charliedurnin]

Hi,
Does anyone know where I might find some original machine heads for my Aria Pro ii SB 700, I'm pretty sure that it's a 1981 Matsumoku from the information on this board (thanks).

I know that I can find something to fit and that aria have a set "AT-350 B L2:R2" on their site but they do not have the aria pro ii engraving on them which is what I would like.

I have done a lot of googling but I have been unsuccessful so far, picture attached.

Thanks

Your 700 is older. October 1979 #012 (the s/n is MM Y # until Dec 1979, after that it's Y MM #)

You could try asking on the Aria Club thread. Someone might have one squirreled away.

Other than that it's keeping a close watch on Ebay - I got very lucky some years back & scored an A/E side to replace a bad one on my SB-1000.

Do you know what happened to the missing tuner?

Those are Both tuners. I am pretty sure they still make the same model. I may have one in my parts draw. I will check tomorrow.

Thanks for the information. The other tuner got bent in a fall, I removed it to see if I could do anything with it but I haven't been able to get the screw tuning peg back into the housing (apologies if my terminology is incorrect), and I'm not sure if the thread has gone or not. I have attached a picture.

Thanks for pointing me towards the Aria Club.

Not sure what happened to my post. I was trying to say they are Gotoh tuners and I believe are that model is still made.

Yep: Individual Gotoh Compact Bass Tuner | stewmac.com

@charliedurnin

Have you manage to identify the vendor and the model of this peg?
