I need a couple of those odd trapezoidal tuner buttons common on 1960s Kays. Pics are here: http://www.banjohangout.org/myhango...albumid=3692
Thanks!

AllParts has some similar. but likely won't match. They are pricey.

Thanks, I see what you mean. Not quite close enough - I just need the button that slides over the shaft.

you might end up replacing all the buttons. if you are really intent about an absolute match, you might end up casting your own or carving some out of wood or tusk.

I can remember having a drawer full of things like that back in the 70s. Have you thought about emailing that picture to some of the vintage shops like Bernunzio?
