1970s Flower Tuners

[tache3]

Currently refurbing a 1979 LP Standard. Tuners were swapped out at some point in the past so I've been looking for a replacement set for a while. These have come up on ebay this week-

Vintage 1970's Gibson Les Paul Flower Tuners Tulip 1976 1977 1978 1979 1980 0210 | eBay

However, the description states (and the photo confirms) that one of the tuners has a shorter shaft than the others. I'd say that this suggests that this may not be a complete set, but has been made up from singles. Would anyone on here have a source for a full set before I go for this set and keep an eye out for a single replacement for the short shaft?

Any help anyone can give is much appreciated.

I think there were a few different sets of tuners
offered then. The flower pot motif is one.
I don`t think those are the best quality however.
If I remember they spun backwards sometimes under tension.
I`ve got this set F/S.https://reverb.com/item/825631-gibson-les-paul-1970-s-chrome-tuner-set-deluxe-made-in-germany

Also a HUGE note here is the large bushings..
The Flower tuner and double ring Kluson have different shaft diameters..so a flower tuner will fit in a Kluson bushing, but not vice versa..

you are correct.....

This is not truly a "set" I have seen them several times....one of them is the short stem.

Hit up the Spartanburg show in a couple of weeks. Eric Ernest is usually there with parts, as well as others.

Thank you everyone. Your replies are much appreciated. Have managed to turn up another set which I am currently keeping my eye on.

The Flower tuners. All I did was buy a 335 knock off. The tuners were not stock. I didn't know anything about them. I do now. I guess. It has Flower tuners and they are all complete. Now what?
