Warwick Machine Heads Stripped

Sorry if there is info on this already out there I couldn't find it. I have a $$ 5 string with a stripped machine head. I am under the understanding they are standard Gotoh mini with the Warwick logo slapped on em. I need to replace one and I was wondering if anyone in the neighborhood has had to deal with this before and knows which one is an exact match other than the Wic logo. I don't care if one says Gotoh. Thanks
 
Thank you, I own 3 Warwicks and I am familiar with their website. It is much cheaper and easier to match up with the non logoed machine head if you know which co. manufactures them for Warwick. That’s what I'm trying to find out since it is an identical match. I had a thumb with two of them replaced but I bought it that way...
 
I've replaced several machine heads on my Wick's over the years. The gotoh's are a perfect match (other than the little W logo). This one has a gotoh tuner and a hipshot extender. Both match well.

Ah, I see. Misunderstanding on my part. :)
