Yup!
I've heard a lot of people over the years who blame tuning instability on vintage style Kluson tuners. I've even entertained this thought myself at one time, but after a little research, I can tell you that it's simply not true.
A worm gear will turn a spur gear, but NOT the other way around. More times than not, the culprit is tight nut slots, failure to pre-stretch strings, not tuning UP to pitch, or any combination thereof.
Do Grovers feel better?
They sure do!
Would I retrofit them to my Kluson equipped Lester?
Absolutely NOT!
