Tuners for Gibson LP Triumph

[Mungi]

Is there a drop in replacement out there for the Gibson M4 machines which is on the Gibson LP Triumph bass? I know of the Shaller M4 but Shaller has the screw hole on a different side.

Thanks, but unfortunately those have the wider string post for a 9/16" diameter peg hole in the head stock. I need a tuner for a 7/16" diameter peg hole.

You're looking for a Schaller M4-C.

You're looking for a Schaller M4-C.

Unfortunately the only new Schallers I have found have the brackets for the small screw in a 180 degree angel. The old Gibson tuners have them in a 90 degree angel. So those would require drilling a new hole, which I do not want to do.

This is what I need:

Polka, those are the correct machine heads. I ordered mine from AllParts.com. These are not available in the US and are a special order. It took 3 or 4 weeks for them to get to me but totally worth the wait to get the right parts.

I just got my 70 LP Triumph / Recording back from my luthier - he installed the machine heads, a new Hipshot bridge (that actually fits the original mounting holes) and a new control plate. He also set everything up. The bass was a rescue - missing the above parts and I have not put it down since I brought it home.

Do you need all four? If not, I've got three originals (1 left and 2 right side) I could part with.
