I was under that impression too until taking a close look at some of the DMC hardware !! If so take a good look at the toggle switch nut , The DMC version is too pointy at the tips and not flat enough on the knurls ! I got a set of the DMC single line single ring tuners and the buttons had no swirl , color was ok but vintage Klusons had swirly buttons ! I recently replaced my DMC toggle nut with the one from Fatboy ! It has the vintage correct specs and look ! I then changed the tuner buttons to Uncle Lou's ! Now they look right !
