Machine heads and roller nut

[Jimmy Gibson]

I am in need of a set of machine head and a roller nut that will fit a Bennett. Just too add the roller nut is not that important,it,s the machine heads that are knackered, hopefully I can free the rollers in the nut,but if anyone has a roller nut spare I would still be interested.
The problem with the machine heads is the bush that screws into the body of the machine head will not turn because it is so corroded it has rusted on the centre shaft and is solid,so will not turn without turning the centre shaft at the same and this has caused the shaft to unscrew from out of the body of 5 of them. it seems the steel has been stored in a very damp place,and it’s a shame that someone has neglected it for quite a while.

But it will hopefully be a nice steel when it has been completely overhauled.

Pictures are of a couple of the machine heads that I need a set of,but the problem is the centre screw in bush is longer than standard because there are spacers that bring the tuner holes from the nut in a straight line,but i think I can still use the standard tuners.

More to add in wanted,anyone got a pickup for sale,I found some odd machine heads that fit,fitted them,put strings on tuned it up and guess what nothing just a loud hum.hopefully just a loose or corroded connection,but just in case to be on the safe side I am going to look for another pickup.

Cheers.
